Viton® FKM FPM sheet
FKM FPM Viton® fluoro rubber plates
Invariably, rubber products have been a visible support for all industries for many, many years. They enable the correct operation of machines, personnel, and also secure space. One of the invaluable products is oil-resistant rubber made of FKM. FKM oil-resistant rubber The rubber presented due to its specialized formula retains resistance to mechanical damage – bending, abrasion or other deformations. In addition, it shows great chemical and thermal tolerance. FKM oil-resistant rubber is resistant to, among others: – mineral oils– lubricants – gasoline– dieselfuels – engine oils – ozone – UV radiation– many chemical and organic solvents – hydraulic fluids (HFD) FKM oil-resistant rubber – strength and effectiveness Strength and effectiveness of oil-resistant rubbers is ideal for automotive, aerospace, chemical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. At Power Rubber, we know each other about the production of rubber products like no other. Our knowledge, supported by many years of experience and an innovative machine park, allow us to speak about us as leaders among professionals.
FKM FPM Viton® fluorocarbon rubber sheets
The abbreviations FKM, FPM, and Viton refer to the same type of material, which is fluoroelastomers known for their high resistance to chemicals, high temperatures, and other degrading factors. FKM and FPM are technical abbreviations used in ASTM and ISO standards, while Viton is a trade name for this material. It is resistant to:
- mineral oils
- greases
- gasoline
- diesel fuels
- engine oils
- ozone
- UV radiation
- many chemical and organic solvents
- hydraulic fluids (HFD)
The strength and effectiveness of oil-resistant rubbers are especially useful in the automotive industry, aerospace industry, chemical industry, as well as in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Oil-resistant rubber FKM FPM Viton®
FKM / Viton® rubber is a type of synthetic rubber made from a fluorinated hydrocarbon polymer, known for its excellent resistance to oils, aggressive chemicals, and high temperatures. This high-performance elastomer performs well in extreme conditions where other rubber materials may not hold up. At Power Rubber store, we offer oil-resistant FKM / Viton® sheet in various thicknesses. We also sell a 12 mm thick oil-resistant FKM / Viton® sheet.
Oil-Resistant FKM / Viton® Rubber - Properties
Here are the key properties of oil-resistant FKM / Viton® rubber:
- high temperature resistance (providing impressive resistance over a wide temperature range from -25° C to +210°/250° C)
- excellent resistance to various chemicals
- resistance to weather conditions, ozone, UV radiation (suitable for outdoor applications)
- high resistance to water and hydrolysis (not susceptible to damage from water and water vapor)
- low gas permeability
- suitable for explosive decompression
- excellent resistance to compression set (does not undergo permanent deformation, thus maintaining its shape and properties after compression)
- high mechanical strength (resistance to stretching and damage)
- high elasticity and resilience (no deformation occurs)
- very good electrical insulating properties
