The values shown are average values, resulting from a limited amount of laboratory tests. The tests were carried out on standard test specimens, and so the
results could differ markedly from tests carried out on finished parts. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that he or she performs their own tests, so
as to be certain that the product is suitable for its intended use.

Our recommendations are based on the full extent of our available knowledge. However, they are non-binding, and we cannot be held liable for any kind
of damages that may arise whatsoever.

COG material: Vi 500 Version: 04

Description of material

FKM possesses extraordinarily good resistance to numerous specific media and chemicals, for example: mineral oils;
aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, plus concentrated or diluted acids and weak alkalis. However,
standard FKM materials are not recommended for use with applications involving water vapour. FKM can
demonstrate weaknesses when used with alkaline CIP media. Excellent temperature resistance, plus good
mechanical resistance and outstanding resistance to ageing ensure that FKM rubber stands head and shoulders
above conventional synthetic rubbers.

Area of application Approvals/Certifications

Used in a wide variety of applications in industry, wherever demands are

high.

Special attributes

• Excellent resistance to media

• All types of hydrocarbons (oils, fats, fuels, solvents)
• Low gas permeability
• Reasonable resistance to vapour > +130 °C
• High chemical resistance
• Suitable for endless vulcanisation
