FKM Black

Color – black FKM Black elastomers

FKM Black is an elastomer based on fluoro-rubber and commonly known as FPM, VITON®. It has outstanding properties in resistance to high temperature, weathering, ozone and many chemicals. FKM Black has good chemical resistance to mineral oils and greases containing sulphur, HFD fluids, crude oil and sour gas but is not resistant to anhydrous ammonia, amines, ketones, esters, hot water and low-molecular organic acids.

Application

FPM black can be used for production of U-shaped seals, chevron seals, wipers and non-standard seals. FKM black is mainly used in cases with temperature and chemical stress. Also it is used in hydraulic systems with fire-resistant hydraulic fluids HFD.

Mainly used

  • Non-standard seals in chemical industry and thermal engineering in metallurgy
  • Rotary shaft seals
  • O-rings
  • Hydraulic seals for HFD-fluids
