Elastomer FPM

The terms FKM, FPM and Viton® are all different designations that stand for the same base material, which is fluoro rubber. FKM is the abbreviation according to the ASTM, FPM is the short form for the fluoroelastomer category according to DIN/ISO and Viton® is the registered trademark of DuPont Performance Elastomers.

 

ERIKS offers about 2000 standard elastomer FPM sheet compounds in several sizes available from stock, however we invite you to send us your enquiries for the special execution or size you need.

 

At ERIKS we manufacture most of our standard FPM compounds with Genuine Viton®. There are low-cost fluoroelastomers on the market which are blended with reprocessed scrap materials. These fluoroelastomers might seem like a cheap solution, but the technical properties are inferior compared to 100% fluoroelastomers (Genuine Viton ®).

 

Elastomer FPM is resistant to heat, oil, solvents and strong acids. Elastomer FPM has limited resistance butyl acetate, acetone and methyl alcohol.

 

We help you find the elastomer FPM compound that best meets your needs in order to achieve maximum performance. Based on the requirements we select the compound that suits your application.
