INDUSTRIAL RUBBER SOLUTIONS

Why Choose FKM / VITON Rubber

FKM, commonly known by the trade name Viton®, is often the material of choice when sealing components are required to perform in aggressive operating environments.

Known for its impressive resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and a wide range of chemicals, FKM provides reliable long-term performance where standard elastomers may deteriorate or fail.

It also has the ability to withstand continuous temperatures of up to approximately 200°C, with intermittent exposure to even higher temperatures, makes it particularly well suited to demanding industrial processes where both heat and chemical resistance are essential.

In addition to its excellent chemical stability, FKM offers outstanding resistance to weathering and ageing, helping to extend the service life of seals and reduce maintenance requirements. The material also exhibits low compression set characteristics, enabling gaskets and sealing components to retain their shape and effectiveness over prolonged periods of use.

This combination of durability and performance makes FKM an ideal solution for applications within the automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing sectors.

Choosing our FKM rubber products here at TYM can help improve equipment reliability, minimise downtime, and reduce the frequency of component replacement in challenging environments.

Whether used in O-rings, gaskets, extrusions, mouldings, or custom-engineered parts, FKM delivers dependable sealing performance in situations where exposure to aggressive media, elevated temperatures, and harsh operating conditions demand a premium elastomer solution.
