Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) O-Rings
Kalrez FFKM O-Rings
From aerospace and chemical processing to chip manufacturing and oil and gas applications, DuPont™ Kalrez® elastomers are engineered to provide more stability, more resistance, and more effective sealing.
Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) currently offers the highest operating temperature range, the most comprehensive chemical compatibility, and the lowest off-gassing and extractable levels of any rubber material.
FFKM materials are perfluoroelastomeric compounds containing an even higher amount of fluorine than FKM fluoroelastomers.
They have improved resistance to high temperatures and chemicals and even withstand environments where Oxygen-Plasma are present for many hours. Certain grades have a maximum continuous service temperature of 327 °C (621 °F). They are commonly used to make O-rings and gaskets that are used in applications that involve contact with hydrocarbons or highly corrosive fluids, or when a wide range of temperatures is encountered.
O-ring applications can be very demanding. GFS Engineers are available to consult on any O-ring application. Click here to contact a GFS Engineer.
