O-Ring Applications

Find out about the many FFKM O-ring applications that these seals are suitable for at TRP.

What applications are FFKM O-rings used in?

FFKM O-rings are widely used in applications requiring the best possible chemical and heat resistance.
Initially manufactured for chemical processes and space programmes, the versatility and durability of perfluoroelastomers quickly saw them rolled out across a much broader range of applications.

FFKM is now widely used, particularly in the chemical processing, semiconductor, and aerospace industries, due to its unparalleled chemical and thermal resistance. This sees them used for a range of applications, with FFKM O-rings for valves, mechanical seals, chemical pumps, all being commonplace.

O-rings for mechanical seals, chemical pumps and more at TRP

TRP offer a range of FFKM materials specifically developed to meet the requirements of the following industries and applications:

If you require a durable sealing solution that performs optimally in demanding environments, the properties of FFKM O-rings offer an impressive array of advantages. TRPlast™ Perfluoroelastomer O-rings offer the dual benefits of excellent chemical resistance and a wide operating temperature of -45°C to +330°C, making them ideally suited to even the harshest of applications. Where you cannot compromise on quality or performance, make FFKM O-rings your sealing solution of choice.

FFKM can be used in almost all chemical applications, including:

    • Organic and inorganic acids
    • Caustics
    • Ketones
    • Aldehydes
    • Alcohols

O-Ring benefits

The benefits of our O-rings for these applications include:

Wide operating temperature

Our O-ring materials are capable of operating at low and high temperatures alike, from -45°C to +330°C.

Chemical resistance

Our O-rings are resistant to caustics, ketones, alcohols, fuels and many more harsh substances.

Compression set resistance

FFKM O-rings retain their form and elastic properties over long periods of use.
