FFKM Performance and Application

Perfluoroelastomers is a very usefull and popular synthetic rubber known as the FFKM abbreviation. The synthetic rubber structure of FFKM or Perfluoroelastomer is completely fluorinated rubber, FFKM and fluorizating plastic or PTFE teflon.

 Even though FTKM is often known as the VITON brand. FFKM synthetic rubber for areas that require seals in the toughest conditions or in environments with a high dangerous of sealing.

Properties of FFKM

The most important feature of FFKM synthetic rubber, which distinguishes it from many other synthetic rubbers, is the high resistance of this type of rubber to heat. In addition, FFKM rubbers have a lot of positive properties in their structure, which makes them different chemical properties and chemical compounds such as strong acid, strong alkali, ketones, oxidants, fuels, acids and alkali, and so on.

 In fact, it should be said that FFKM rubbers are used in locations and applications where other fluorizating fluids cannot function and cannot withstand because they not only have a high resistance to a variety of chemicals but also when exposed to these chemicals does not lose its structure and has a very good tolerance to all chemicals. Other basic features of the FFKM rubber are the ability to withstand a temperature of under 300 degrees C without losing its elastic properties.

For this reason, FFKM rubbers are commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices, semiconductors, and chemical industries, which make:

• The life of the sealing devices is much higher
• The cost of service and maintenance of devices will be much lower
• The degree of contamination and pollution of the devices is much less.

Synthetic rubber FFKM has the highest performance in sealing

Generally, FFKM rubbers consist of three main components:

• polymer chain
• crossing linking system and
• padding

The use of this structure has caused the FFKM rubbers to have the highest elastic strength due to their structure. Typically, FFKM rubbers are produced in the form of an O-ring, v-ring, or in the form of a plate, stick or a variety of other forms, depending on the type of product and location they are intended to produce. Even in necessary situations, these rubbers are sometimes used as casting molds for some metal materials.

The role of synthetic rubber FFKM in environmental protection

The longer durability and higher chemical performance of products manufactured from synthetic rubber FFKM, compared to other types of other rubbers, has caused the amount of chemical leaks that are commonly caused by the breakdown and tearing of seals used in machines Various vehicles such as cars are severely reduced.

 Carefully choosing the type of rubber products, and paying more attention to even the smallest chemical leakage or release of gases from different machines and purchasing products made from FFKM rubber, which are widely available for many types of industrial applications, the environmental effects of these materials can be reduced.

 For this reason, it can easily be asserted that the products of synthetic rubber FFKM have a direct and significant impact on reducing environmental pollution and are in full compliance with the rules and regulations of environmental protection.

The role of FFKM rubbers in preventing Pollution

The products produced from FFKM rubbers play a major role in reducing contamination and pollution and cleaning the production process because:

• The use of these products can greatly reduce the aging rate of the corrosive chemical environment
• Sealing products produced with this type of rubber, even in high temperature conditions, do not lose their sealing ability
• This type of rubber is not solved in the medium due to the production of pure ingredients and constituents
• The amount of outgassing rate in vacuum seal is very low when using this rubber
• The purity of FFKM synthetic rubber is in accordance with the FDA’s international standard

FFKM rubber bonding to reduce maintenance costs and increase productivity and Efficiency

Absence of seepage, uniformity and homogeneity and has a pinhole on the surface is the essential characteristics of products produced from FFKM rubbers. Other high-end features of FFKM rubbers include their extreme performance against heat and resistance to chemicals, along with other properties such as homogeneity, no seepage enhance sealing property, sealing emulsions, increased cycle times, and subsequent reduction of maintenance costs.

 Longer lifetimes and extreme durability of products manufactured with rubber FFKM reduces accidental down times.

 In this case, the productivity of the products will certainly be higher and the speed of their use will increase. Increasing the operating time of the equipment and improving the stability of the technique will also have other benefits of using products manufactured from FFKM rubbers, which will bring more profits to the user.
