Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM)
Fluorocarbon rubber, commonly known as FKM, is a premium synthetic elastomer engineered for demanding environments where conventional rubbers fall short. Its high fluorine content delivers outstanding resistance to extreme heat, aggressive chemicals, fuels, oils, and solvents, while maintaining excellent mechanical strength and long-term durability. These properties make FKM a trusted material for critical sealing applications exposed to harsh operating conditions.
