Fluoroelastomers

Fluoroelastomers are a class of synthetic rubber compounds that are characterized by their high resistance to heat, chemicals, and oil. They are made by introducing fluorine atoms into the polymer structure, which enhances their performance in aggressive environments. This unique composition allows fluoroelastomers to maintain their elasticity and integrity when exposed to extreme temperatures and various chemical agents, making them ideal for use in seals, gasketing, and O-rings in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. Their excellent mechanical properties and durability contribute to their popularity in various demanding applications where other elastomers would degrade.
