FFKM Seals have been specially designed to provide exceptional performance in demanding environments. They excel in applications where resistance to extreme chemical and thermal loads is required. Thanks to their unique properties, they minimize the risk of leaks, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation, even in critical applications. They are widely used in industries such as chemical, food, and pharmaceutical.


What is FFKM?

FFKM (Kalrez®) is a perfluoroelastomer that combines excellent chemical resistance with a wide temperature range (-55 °C to +330 °C). It is used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, semiconductor, and aerospace industries.

 

FFKM vs. FKM - differences, properties, and application of fluorine seals

FKM (Viton®) and FFKM (Perfluoroelastomer) seals differ in chemical composition and resistance. FKM contains fluorinated rubbers with high resistance to oils, fuels, and temperatures up to about 200-230°C. FFKM, due to the full fluorination of the polymer chain, withstands extreme conditions - temperatures up to 320°C and contact with aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents. FFKM seals are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and aerospace industries, while FKM is used in automotive, hydraulic, and technical equipment.

FFKM contains more fluorine than FKM, providing better chemical resistance and a wider temperature range (up to 330 °C).
