O-ring FKM (Viton)

FPM (fluorocarbon rubber)/Viton O-rings are known for their resistance to mineral and synthetic oils as well as chemicals and heat. Also referred to as FKM (American ASTM standard). O-rings are the most common type of seal, and they are used everywhere in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Under suitable conditions, O-rings can be used in static and dynamic applications, but they are not recommended for rotary movements. O-rings are available in various materials and hardnesses, allowing the O-ring to be adapted to the specific task. PRODUCT ADVANTAGES - Excellent resistance to mineral oils, synthetic oils, chemicals, and fats - Excellent resistance to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons - Very good resistance to heat, ozone, aging, and weathering - Good resistance to mechanical wear APPLICATION - Hydraulic and pneumatic systems - Static and dynamic applications - Piston rods and pistons - Flange or cover gasket Note! FPM O-rings can be delivered with special approvals for food contact.
