Fluoro Elastomer

Fluoroelastomers or Fluorocarbons (FKM), also known as Viton®, are highly fluorinated polymers that are suitable for continuous use at elevated temperatures. Various grades are available, including copolymer and terpolymers. The most common grades consist of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride.
Fluoroelastomers have excellent heat and flame resistance, and outstanding resistance to aging, ozone, oxidizers, oils and many chemicals. They also have low gas permeability and low compression set. However, they usually have only limited low temperature capabilities; although some special lower temperature grades are available. They also have limited resistance to steam, hot water and (very) polar fluids such as strong organic acids (e.g. formic acid), methanol, ketones, ammonia and some amines, whereas new peroxide cured grades have somewhat improved chemical resistance. Furthermore, they are expensive and, thus, are only used when the components have to withstand especially harsh environments.
