FKM (FPM) O-rings are high-performance seals made from Fluorocarbon Rubber, also commonly known as Viton. Known for their excellent chemical, temperature and oil resistance, these O-rings are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, especially where resistance to harsh chemicals or high temperatures is required.
Characteristics of FKM/FPM O-rings:
Chemical resistance:
FKM/FPM O-rings have excellent resistance to a variety of chemicals, including mineral oil, silicone oil, animal and vegetable oils, some dilute acids and alkalis, and hydraulic oils such as HFA and HFC.
High temperature resistance:
This O-ring can work in high temperature environments, usually in the operating temperature range of -20°C to 205°C, and can even reach above 250°C, depending on the specific brand and application.
Oil resistance:
FKM/FPM O-rings have good tolerance to various types of oils (including mineral oil, silicone oil, animal and vegetable oils).
High mechanical strength:
It has good compression, tensile and wear resistance, ensuring the reliability of the seal.
FKM/FPM O-rings are widely used in the automotive, aviation, chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. Common applications include:
Engine seals
Fuel system seals
Chemical delivery systems
Hydraulic systems
Vacuum equipment
Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
