FFKM is one of the highest-performing elastomeric materials for particularly critical sealing applications. It is considered when operating conditions exceed the limits of more common materials and when the seal must work in the presence of aggressive fluids, high temperatures or severe application environments. However, choosing FFKM does not automatically mean choosing “the best material” in absolute terms. A high-performance compound must always be evaluated in relation to
