AVIATIONEU NEW ERA AS3209 /...
Flurocarbon rubber compounds (also known as FPM, FKM, or trade names Viton®, Fluorel®, Technoflon®, Dai-El® ) combine high-temperature toughness with wide chemical agent compatibility, and feature excellent resistance to petroleum products and solvents and good high-temperature compression set characteristics. The designations FPM, FKM and Viton® very often cause confusion although they all relate to one single base material. FPM is the international abbreviation according to DIN/ISO, FKM is the short form for the fluoroelastomer category according to the American standard ASTM while Viton® is the registered trade mark of DuPont Performance Elastomers.
M83248 series Flurocarbon rubber o-rings feature an extremely high fuel and heat resistance and they ideally suited for aircraft fuel system applications. These o-rings feature a high temperature resistance, excellent resistance to acids, fuels, mineral and vegetable oils and greases, aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, non-flammable hydraulic fluids (HFD) and many organic solvents and chemicals, low swelling in ASTM oil No. 1, and IRM 902 and IRM 903, excellent resistance to aging and ozone as well as low gas permeability and low compression set.
Flurocarbon rubber o-rings are often used in place of those made by Nitrile rubber (NBR) also known as Buna-N, presently the seal industry’s most widely used elastometer. When it comes to selecting Buna (NBR) vs. Flurocarbon (Viton®) for sealing applications, the selected material should be selected on the basis of the intended application. Viton and Buna are two durable, elastomer materials and they are both commonly used in sealing applications for O-rings and gaskets.
M83248 series Flurocarbon rubber o-rings are offered as part of our own (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufactuurers they are supplied in competitively priced packs in different sizes.
