SpecificationMaterial grade, geometry and dimensions selected for the assembly

Material and function

FKM is a fluoroelastomer selected for oil, fuel and temperature-sensitive sealing. Chemical compatibility and low-temperature flexibility depend on the compound and cure system; evaluate the selected grade against the actual fluid and operating range.

Benefits and options

  • Oil and fuel resistance
  • Sealing at elevated temperatures
  • Compound and cure-system selection

Manufacturing and customization

Sheets and suitable foams can be precision converted into gasket outlines. Molding is considered where the geometry needs a three-dimensional seal. Choose the cutting route and adhesive backing for the material and shape.

Design considerations

Select the material grade for contact media, operating temperature and mechanical loading. Include the installed compression, mating surfaces and expected service conditions when reviewing the component. Confirm performance using the selected compound and a representative sample.
