Fluoro rubber compounds
The fluorocarbon elastomers, better known as FPM or FKM, are
characterized by carbon-carbon linkages in the polymer backbone.
Most Commercially available fluoroelastomers consist of copolymer
and terpolymer of vinylidene fluoride (VF2) hexafluoropropylene
(HFP) tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and in very special applications other
monomers are added.
Given the excellent thermo and chemical resistance, these polymers
are used mainly for making compounds that are used for fabricating
technical articles such as seals, hoses, tubing, shaft seals, o-rings or,
in general, when the customer has to guarantee the compliance of the
articles in harsh environments such as mineral oils, hydraulic fluids,
fuels, aliphatic, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, solvents and
chemicals.
The performance of the products made with Fluorocarbon Elastomers
renders them suitable for application in situations with temperatures
ranging from - 25°C to + 240°C. In static conditions, the functionality
is guaranteed in temperatures below - 45°C.
The principle applications include those in the electronic, aerospace,
nuclear, automotive, nautical, militant, and energy industries.
In short, there exist no other materials with degrees of isolated
electrics, chemical inertia, and mechanical resistance at high
temperatures comparable to those found in these products.
MESGO S.p.A, working in partnership with prestigious industries
and university laboratories, is able to provide a full range of
compounds that not only will comply with customer and industry
specifications, but will also perform according to different production
methods.
