FKM

FKM is a family of fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer materials defined by the ASTM International standard D1418, while it is called FPM by ISO 1629 (both first ed. 1995 and ed. 2013). It is commonly called fluorine rubber or fluoro-rubber. All FKMs contain vinylidene fluoride as a monomer. Originally developed by DuPont (under the brand name Viton, now owned by Chemours), FKMs are today also produced by many companies, including: Daikin (Dai-El), 3M (Dyneon), Solvay S.A. (Tecnoflon), (Elaftor), Gujarat Fluorochemicals (Fluonox), (ZruElast), and several Chinese manufacturers including . Fluoroelastomers are more expensive than neoprene or nitrile rubber elastomers. They provide additional heat and chemical resistance. FKMs can be divided into different classes on the basis of either thei
