FPM

Fluororubber (Viton (®), FPM)

FPM is characterized by excellent resistance to high temperatures, ozone, weathering, oxygen, mineral oils, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels, aromatics, many organic solvents and chemicals.

For applications in water and steam, the upper temperature limit is approx. +60°C. Due to its low gas permeability, FPM is suitable for high vacuum. FPM has good resistance to flame-retardant oil in water emulsion (HFA fluid), water in oil emulsion (HFB fluid) and anhydrous synthetic (HFD) fluid. Special FPM mixtures have higher resistance to acids, fuels, water and steam.

Temperature range : -25 to +200°C

Applications : FPM is often used when NBR can no longer be used, e.g. due to high operating temperatures or excellent chemical resistance. Special compounds are approved by DVGW or FDA. Other special compounds can be used for applications up to a temperature of approx. +250 °C or down to -40 °C for static sealing tasks.

        Disposal

        According to the “Regulation on the European Waste Catalogue (AVV)”, the waste product from FPM can be classified according to Chapter 7 “Wastes from organic chemical processes” and the waste code 07 02 99. This waste code stands for waste classified as non-hazardous.

        They can therefore be disposed of in normal household quantities with normal household waste. Please use the container provided by your public waste disposal authority for residual waste as the appropriate disposal container.
