Understanding FKM Rubber
FKM rubber, short for Fluoroelastomer, is a synthetic rubber material known for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and a wide range of aggressive fluids and gases. It belongs to the family of fluoroelastomers, which are known for their unique combination of properties, including:
High Temperature Resistance:
FKM rubber can withstand extreme temperatures, making it ideal for applications that involve both high and low-temperature variations.
Chemical Resistance
FKM exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, fuels, and solvents, making it indispensable in industries where exposure to corrosive substances is common..
Ozone and Weather Resistance:
FKM is highly resistant to ozone and UV exposure, making it a durable choice for outdoor and automotive applications
Low Gas Permeability
FKM has low gas permeability, which is crucial in preventing gas or fluid leakage in high-pressure environments.
Types of FKM Rubber
There are three primary types of FKM rubber, each with its unique curing process and properties:
FKM-FPM
Bisphenol Cured FKM
This type of FKM is cured using a bisphenol crosslinking system. It offers excellent heat resistance and is commonly used in applications involving high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
FKM-P
Peroxide Cured FKM
FKM-P is cured using peroxides, which imparts improved compression set resistance and enhanced physical properties. It is a suitable choice for applications where a balance of chemical resistance and mechanical strength is required.
FKM-T
Terpolymer FKM
FKM-T combines properties of both bisphenol cured and peroxide cured FKMs. It offers a unique combination of heat resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.
Applications of FKM Rubber
FKM rubber finds applications in a variety of industries due to its exceptional properties:
Semiconductor Manufacturing
FKM materials are used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment due to their high purity and resistance to aggressive chemicals.
Aerospace Industry
We understand the importance of timely deliveries, and our efficient FKM components are employed in aircraft engines and hydraulic systems, where reliability under extreme conditions is paramount.
