FFKM News

Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) is a high-grade polymer material boasting a highly fluorinated chemical makeup that enables us to design and manufacture FFKM 'O' rings that are extremely resistant to high temperatures, chemicals and oxygen-plasma. In this article, TRP Polymer Solutions explains the benefits of FFKM 'O' rings and the manufacturing process that goes into making them.

O-rings are circular, seals that prevent gas or liquid from passing through an opening. After countless operational cycles, O-rings will eventually wear out and fail. When that time comes, it’s essential to know the correct dimensions of your O-ring to source a like for like replacement. In this blog, we’ll explain how to measure an O-ring correctly.

What’s in a letter? Well, in the case of FKM and FFKM, quite a lot actually. In this blog, we make a direct comparison between FFKM vs FKM, highlighting the various features and benefits of each elastomer, to give you an insight into when and why we might choose to use them in your sealing products.

Perfluoroelastomer, or FFKM as it’s more commonly, was created in the 1960s as a more chemical and temperature resistant alternative to fluoroelastomer (FKM). TRP Polymer Solutions have developed a range of FFKM materials suited to a huge variety of industries and applications. Here, we’ll talk you through the major benefits of FFKM.
