About FKM
Chemical resistance and stability
The fluorine atom properties provide FKM with exceptional chemical resistance. FKM can withstand temperatures of 200°C for prolonged periods and meets automotive lifetime specifications requiring 5000+ hours of performance.
Monomers for FKM
FKM polymer behavior is determined by its monomer units including Vinylidene Fluoride (VF2), Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), Hexafluoropropylene (HFP), and Perfluoromethylvinylether (PMVE), which provide the optimal balance of properties.
