FFKM Compounds

FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) compounds are the ideal choice for the most extreme applications. Thanks to their exceptional chemical and thermal resistance, they are used in highly critical environments where standard materials would not guarantee reliability. On this page, we explore the characteristics, applications, and technical specifications of our FFKM compounds.

Applications of FFKM perfluoroelastomer compounds

FFKM compounds are used in highly aggressive chemical environments and high temperatures, where maximum sealing and durability are required:

Chemical industry: for seals and components exposed to reactive fluids and corrosive processes.
Oil & Gas: for static and dynamic seals resistant to H₂S, steam, hydrocarbons, and high pressure.
Aerospace: in critical applications involving high temperatures and prolonged exposure to fuels and oxidizers.

FFKM Material

FFKM is a perfluoroelastomer with a very high fluorine content (up to 75%), combining the elastic properties of rubber with the typical resistance of PTFE.

Its main characteristics include:

Extreme chemical resistance: stable even in strong acids, ketones, esters, aldehydes, and aggressive fluids
High operating temperature: up to +320°C, with excellent performance even beyond 3000 hours
Excellent resistance to compression and permanent deformation
Low gas permeability
High purity for use in controlled environments
High long-term thermal stability
Suitable for static and dynamic applications in harsh environments

Perfluoroelastomer Temperature Range

FFKM compounds are designed to offer reliable performance over a wide temperature range, generally from -20°C to +320°C, with special formulations for extreme conditions.

FFKM: Compatibility and Chemical Resistance

The main advantage of FFKM is its nearly universal chemical resistance, making it ideal for applications in contact with over 1,800 chemicals. Each formulation is tested to ensure compatibility and durability in harsh environments.
