A comparison of Nitrile vs EPDM ‘O’ rings
Synthetic rubber comes in a huge variety of different types, each offering their own distinct advantages and disadvantages.
FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) O-rings offer excellent resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures.
FFKM is the most chemically and thermally resistant O-ring material; it combines the sealing properties of FKM with the chemical resistance of PTFE and is suitable for use at up to 330°c.
As experienced custom rubber mouldings and O-ring manufacturers, TRP Polymer Solutions produce perfluoroelastomer O-rings for a wide range of applications. Just some of the many industries we supply to include chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries. We offer custom-size O-rings made to your exact specifications, with sizes running from less than 1mm to over 1800mm.
Our FFKM O-rings are available in most standard sizes and are supported by a large range of non-standard tooling.
TRP Polymer Solutions can manufacture high-performance O-rings to suit any given application. As well as FFKM O-rings, our engineers are highly skilled at developing O-rings from a variety of other advanced elastomers, including:
As well as our unique TRPlast® FFKM O-rings, we can supply the following types of specialist, industry-specific O-rings:
The benefits of our O-rings for these applications include:
The benefits of our custom-size O-rings include:
TRPlast® FFKM provides the widest possible chemical and temperature (-40°C to 330°C) resistance.
FFKM O-rings are used in chemical processing and transport, oil and gas, Formula One, and aerospace applications.
FFKM resists acids, alcohols, amines, esters, ketones, steam and hot water, and strong oxidisers.
