Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM)

Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) currently offer the highest operating temperature range, the most comprehensive chemical compatibility, and the lowest off-gassing and extractable levels of any rubber material. Parker's proprietary formulations deliver an extreme performance spectrum that make them ideal for use in critical applications like semiconductor chip manufacturing, jet engines and chemical processing equipment.
