Perfluoroelastomer FFKM

What is FFKM

Fully fluorinated backbone

C–F bond energy 485 kJ/mol with no weak C–H bonds. Inert to 1800+ chemicals — resistant to strong acids, bases, organic solvents and plasma.

Elastic across a wide temperature range

Tg as low as -20 °C with retained elasticity; no significant thermal degradation at 320 °C short-term.

Low outgassing

Vacuum weight loss <0.1% — suited to wafer fabrication and thin-film deposition where cleanliness is critical.

Cross-linkable

Standard O-rings, custom profiles and bonded assemblies. Small-batch customisation with 2–4 week lead time.
