FKM seals are made from fluoroelastomer rubber, which is a synthetic rubber that offers excellent resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and oils. They are suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including food & beverage, automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas.
FKM seals can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +220°C, and have superior resistance to a variety of chemicals, including acids, bases, alcohols, fuels, and hydraulic fluids. They are commonly used in applications that involve aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, or high pressure.
FKM seals have excellent resistance to oil and grease, making them suitable for use in the automotive and marine industries, where they are often used for sealing oil and fuel systems.
The Metal Company can supply FKM seals for a variety of our fittings, and our RapidPress Inox Extreme range comes standard with FKM seals. Other products that have FKM seals available include Tri-Clover unions, RJT Unions, A and E series butterfly valves.
