VITON™ or FKM GASKETS
FKM gaskets are made from synthetic rubber and are known for their excellent heat and chemical resistance. They are also resistant to oils and fuels, making them suitable for use in a variety of industrial applications, such as sealing pipes and valves.
Common applications for FKM gaskets
- Automotive Industry: FKM gaskets are commonly used in the automotive industry due to their high chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and durability. They are typically used in applications such as fuel systems, transmission systems, and other areas where resistance to harsh chemicals and high temperatures is required.
- Aerospace Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the aerospace industry for their resistance to high temperatures, fuels, and chemicals. They are typically used in applications such as rocket engines, aircraft engines, and other high-performance aerospace applications where reliability and durability are critical, and exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures is common.
- Construction Industry: are commonly used in applications such as piping systems, HVAC systems, and other areas where exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures is common. FKM gaskets are also used in construction equipment such as excavators and cranes, where reliable sealing is crucial to prevent leaks and maintain safety.
- Electrical Industry: FKM Gaskets are used in the electrical industry for their resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, and ability to maintain a seal. They are used in electrical enclosures, transformers, and other applications where sealing is important.
- HVAC Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the HVAC industry to provide reliable sealing against high temperatures and chemical exposure in various components such as pumps, valves, and ductwork.
- Medical Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the medical industry to provide a secure and long-lasting seal for fluid transfer in medical devices, such as drug delivery systems, surgical equipment, and diagnostic tools, due to their high chemical resistance and biocompatibility.
- Oil and Gas Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the oil and gas industry to provide excellent sealing against high temperatures, pressure, and chemical exposure in various applications, such as pumps, compressors, and pipelines, due to their ability to resist degradation from hydrocarbons and other harsh chemicals.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the pharmaceutical industry to provide secure and reliable sealing in various equipment, such as reactors, mixers, and storage tanks, due to their high chemical resistance and ability to maintain their sealing properties even under high temperatures and frequent sterilization.
- Water Treatment Industry: FKM gaskets are used in the water treatment industry to provide excellent sealing against chemicals, ozone, and UV exposure in various applications, such as pumps, valves, and filter housings, due to their high chemical resistance, durability, and ability to maintain sealing integrity in harsh environments.
