Automotive
Tecnoflon® FKM offers superior durability for automotive components like seals, gaskets, hoses, and O-rings, outperforming other synthetic rubbers. It maintains flexibility and strength in extreme temperatures from -45°C to 250°C (-49°F to 482°F) and is highly resistant to fuels, powertrain fluids, and exhaust. Its low permeation reduces evaporative emissions.
Tecnoflon® FKM is ideal for powertrains focused on clean, efficient propulsion without sacrificing power. It excels in demanding sealing applications requiring heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.
- Fuel Injector O-rings: Ensure reliable performance and extended life, compatible with various automotive fluids and chemicals.
- Turbocharger Hoses: Withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F) and remain flexible in freezing conditions, allowing for a small bending radius and preventing leakage.
- Battery seals and hydrogen fuel cell applications
All future powertrains need to focus on one goal: develop a clean and efficient propulsion system, without sacrificing power.
Tecnoflon® FKM is ahead of the game for demanding sealing applications where heat resistance, chemical resistance and excellent dimensional stability are essential.
Fuel Injector O-rings made from Tecnoflon® FKM provide reliable performance where extended component life is essential, such as fuel injector O-rings, fuel hoses and seals. The material is compatible with a wide range of fluids and chemicals, including automotive lubricants, fuels and additives.
Turbocharger Hoses used in air management systems must withstand exit air temperatures up to 250°C (482°F) as well as prolonged exposure to pulsating pressure and acid gas. Tecnoflon® FKM allows turbocharger hoses to remain flexible at temperatures below freezing, making it possible to have a small bending radius to fit in tight space and to prevent leakage.
Semiconductor
Tecnoflon® FKM and FFKM grades formulated for semiconductor manufacturing meet the industry’s stringent requirements for purity, chemical resistance, and thermal performance. Typical applications include high-performance seals, gaskets, and O-rings for process equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits or semiconductors.
Tecnoflon® FFKM resins for wet process applications are selected for their low metal content and excellent chemical resistance. In dry process applications, Tecnoflon® FFKM resins excel due to their impressive high temperature performance and resistance to chemical and physical plasma attack.
Oil & Gas
Tecnoflon® FKM and FFKM products offer a wide selection of fluorinated synthetic rubbers that withstand the rigors of downhole, subsea, and surface environments in the Oil & Gas industry. These materials withstand rapid gas decompression, offer excellent resistance to H2S, and deliver reliable performance at low temperatures. Typical applications include stators for pumps and motors, packer elements, and all types of sealing applications.
Tecnoflon® FKM and FFKM retain their low compression set overtime at temperatures in excess of 150°C (302°F), resulting in better seals with a higher, constant sealing force than materials like HNBR. The long-lasting performance of these materials helps reduce maintenance and shutdown times, thereby lowering overall costs.
Tecnoflon® SHP 84 is a peroxide curable SHP-FFKM grade that offers the best chemical resistance to the widest range of fluids and chemicals used in the O&G and chemical processing industries.
Chemical Processing Industry
Peroxide curable Tecnoflon® FFKM provides the best possible sealing performance in harsh environments. Seals, gaskets and O-rings made from Tecnoflon® perfluoroelastomers are used extensively in the chemical processing industry to improve uptime performance by reducing seal failures.
Healthcare
The purity and high quality of Tecnoflon® FFKM grades are used to produce high-performance O-rings and pistons that provide safe, long-lasting seals for medical equipment, even in the presence of oxygen gas, alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine solutions, as well as sterilizing media such as steam, UV or ozone.
