FKM / Viton Rubber Sheet
FKM rubber sheet is a type of high-performance synthetic rubber made from fluoroelastomers, with Viton® being one of the most well-known brand names for FKM. It's prized for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and oil, which makes it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Key Features of FKM Rubber Sheet:
- Excellent heat resistance (up to 250°C or 482°F)
- Superb chemical resistance, especially to fuels, oils, acids, and solvents
- Low permeability to gases
- Good weather and ozone resistance
- Strong mechanical properties (especially at elevated temperatures)
Common Applications:
- Gaskets and seals in automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing industries
- Linings for tanks and pipes exposed to aggressive chemicals
- High-performance O-rings and diaphragms
- Environments where other rubber materials (like NBR or EPDM) would degrade
Limitations:
- Higher cost compared to other rubber types
- Poor low-temperature flexibility (typically becomes brittle below -20°C)
If you’re using or specifying material for harsh environments (like fuel or chemical exposure), FKM is often a go-to option.
