• FKM Rubber Parts

This is FKM outside the sealing catalogue: custom moulded fluoroelastomer parts made to a customer drawing. We provide FKM rubber product processing to order and have our own mould workshop, so the tool for your part is designed and manufactured here rather than subcontracted to a shop that will never run it.

Key Benefits

• Custom FKM parts moulded to your drawing rather than adapted from a catalogue
• Exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals oils and fuels
• Structural integrity retained where temperatures are elevated
• Mould design and manufacture in our own workshop
• Resistance to wear tear and environmental degradation in service

Problems It Solves

• Custom parts refused by suppliers because the volume is small
• Components degrading in aggressive acids or industrial lubricants
• Tooling quoted by a shop that will never run it and never sees the moulding problems
• Parts losing structural integrity at elevated temperature

Who It Is For

• Equipment builders needing a non catalogue fluoroelastomer part
• Process engineers replacing a part that fails on chemical attack
• Design teams moving a demanding part from prototype into tooled production
• Buyers who need the tool and the part from one supplier

Application Scenarios

• Chemical handling equipment components
• High temperature machinery parts
• Automotive components exposed to fuel and industrial lubricants
• Equipment exposed to aggressive acids or industrial lubricants

Where This Is the Right Choice and Where It Is Not

Compared With NBR parts

Nitrile is cheaper and adequate for ordinary oil contact. FKM earns its cost when chemistry or temperature exceeds that.

Compared With FFKM parts

FFKM extends chemical range further at considerably higher cost, and is rarely necessary outside semiconductor and severe chemical service.

Compared With Silicone parts

Silicone leads on temperature range and flexibility, FKM on chemical and fuel resistance.

FKM and FFKM O-Rings

FKM and FFKM sit at the top of the seal material range and are frequently confused with each other.

Rubber Moulds

We have our own mould manufacturing workshop and experienced structural design engineers, so we can independently design and develop rubber moulds rather than pass the work on.

FFKM Material Seals

Not every FFKM application is an O-ring.

SBR Rubber Parts and Counterweight Blocks

SBR is the compound to reach for when abrasion resistance and cost matter more than chemical range.

FFKM or FKM Which One Your Application Actually Needs

FFKM is not simply a better FKM. It is a different commercial decision, and specifying it by reflex wastes money as reliably as under specifying wastes uptime.

Compression Transfer and Injection Moulding for Rubber Parts

The moulding process decides tooling cost, cycle time and how much detail a part can carry. Choosing it is a commercial decision as much as a technical one.

FKM Rubber Parts Questions

Yes. Custom FKM rubber product processing to customer drawings is exactly what this line is.

Yes, we have our own mould workshop and design and manufacture the tool in house.

Our structural design team can work from the physical part and produce a drawing for your approval.

It depends on the tool and the part. We will tell you at quotation rather than publish a figure that may not apply.

Yes, if agreed in writing before we start.
