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.
Find out about the many FFKM O-ring applications that these seals are suitable for at TRP.
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.
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:
The benefits of our O-rings for these applications include:
Our O-ring materials are capable of operating at low and high temperatures alike, from -45°C to +330°C.
Our O-rings are resistant to caustics, ketones, alcohols, fuels and many more harsh substances.
FFKM O-rings retain their form and elastic properties over long periods of use.
