Material

FFKM (Perfluoroelastomer)

FFKM replaces essentially all hydrogen with fluorine, approaching PTFE-level chemical inertness while retaining elastomeric sealing behaviour. It is specified where no other elastomer will survive the process chemistry or temperature, at a correspondingly higher cost.
