About Vertex FC
The Vertex FC series of fluoroelastomers (FKMs) are designed to meet stringent industry needs across different sectors like Oil and Gas, Chemical, Energy, Aerospace and more. Some specially designed elastomers in this range have received industry-leading certifications like NORSOK M-710 Edition 3 for Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD), NACE TM0187-2011 for use in sour fluid environments, and others.
WHAT ARE FKM SEALS?
First developed in the 1950s, FKM is a group of fluoroelastomers with specifications defined by ASTM D1418 Standard and ISO standard 1629. FKM seals were first used in the aerospace industry due to their impressive heat (typically between -20°C (-5°F) and +230°C (+445°F)) and pressure resistance. Modern FKM seals have excellent resistance to solvents, certain hydrocarbons and chemicals, and other fuels (including petroleum-based greases and oils).
FKM is widely used in the oil & gas, chemical, automotive, aerospace, and energy industries for making a variety of seals including o-rings, gaskets, diaphragms and custom-molded components.
