Fluororubber (fluororubber; FKM for short)


1. What are the performance characteristics of seals made of fluororubber?


The advantage of seals made of fluororubber is that among rubber sealing materials, it has the best heat resistance, oil resistance, solvent resistance, weather resistance, and chemical resistance. In all high-temperature environments where nitrile rubber and polyurethane rubber cannot be used or in special working fluids, fluororubber can be used as a sealing material for seals. It is a sealing material with the best comprehensive ability among all synthetic rubbers. It is also called "King of Rubber" in the industry and has become an indispensable and alternative basic sealing material in modern industry, especially in the field of high technology.


2. What are the disadvantages of seals made of fluororubber?


The disadvantage of seals (seals) made of fluororubber is that its processing performance is difficult to master, and the price is relatively high, about twenty times that of nylon rubber, and its cold resistance and water resistance are relatively poor, and its elasticity at room temperature is also poor. Fluororubber products with improved cold resistance and water resistance have been developed on the market. In addition, there is FFKM with better heat resistance and chemical resistance than ordinary fluororubber, but the price is still ten times higher than that of ordinary fluororubber sealing materials.
