FKM seals

Our available FKM-material

General

The fluorinated rubber compound FKM is a synthetic elastomer made by polymerisation of vinylidene fluoride and other fluoride monomers. The material is highly temperature-resistant and disposes of a high chemical stability. It is preferably used for flat seals. The fluorinated rubber compound A-VF 75-00 applied by Steinbach AG for FKM plates, for example, is bisphenolicly cross-linked and contains approx. 66% of fluorine. So the plates comply with the Siemens standard SN 53145-1.

Properties

FKM rubber is antistatic, very abrasion-resistant and especially resistant to heat, ozone, weather conditions, light, transformer oil, biogas, oil, diesel, petrol and acids. Furthermore, FKM disposes of a good flame resistance. The resistances improve with the increasing fluorine content. However, the low-temperature flexibility decreases with increasing content of fluorine.

Benefits

• very low-wear
• high abrasion resistance
• resistant to diesel and petrol
• resistant to ozone, light and weather conditions
• acid and oil-resistant
• resistant to transformer oil
• flame-resistant
• heat-resistant
• antistatic properties

Range of use and areas of application

Typical applications for fluorinated elastomers are low-wear seals, cable insulations, moulded parts, protective gloves and chemically-resistant universal hoses for the automobile and aerospace industry.
