FFKM: Choosing the Right Compound Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) are the most chemically and thermally resistant elastomers available. They are expensive, but often the only technically viable solution. Not all FFKM compounds are alike. Anyone selecting one must therefore understand which compound suits which application. This article provides an overview of the FFKM products we offer in collaborat…

When is an Viton® / FKM seal necessary? An Viton® seal (also known as a FPM seal or FKM seal) is always necessary when standard elastomers such as NBR or EPDM no longer provide a reliable seal. This is the case with high temperatures, aggressive media, or long service life under pressure. However, Viton® seals also have clearly defined weaknesses that must be taken into account in the design. I…

When is an EPDM seal the correct choice? If an elastic seal needs to withstand constant contact with water, hot water, or steam, an EPDM seal is often the most suitable option. EPDM seals also offer excellent resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and weathering, making them suitable for outdoor use as well. However, it is important to note that EPDM seals are not resistant to mineral oils, greas…

DLC coating of seals PTFE and FKM seals are standard in the industry. Both materials contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are increasingly subject to regulation under the European REACH Regulation. Anyone planning systems or procuring seals today faces a specific question: Which alternatives offer comparable performance without relying on materials or lubricants containing…
