Whitepaper: Understanding the difference between FKM and FFKM
FKM and FFKM material types share many similarities. However, it is understanding the differences between the two material families which is the critical factor in determining the appropriate sealing solution for any given specific application.
In this technical paper, we will cover some of the fundamentals of FKM and FFKM materials, investigating their respective strengths and weaknesses and the structural reasons for them, and the impact on their suitability for use in the most critical and
challenging of sealing applications.
