Oil & Corrosion Resistant
Exposure to fuels, lubricants, and corrosive chemicals can cause traditional sealing materials to degrade over time, leading to swelling, hardening, or cracking. Fluoroelastomer compounds are designed to maintain their chemical stability and physical integrity even in harsh environments, making them ideal for long-term sealing solutions.
The molecular structure of fluoroelastomers features tightly packed fluorine atoms, which provide strong resistance to non-polar oils and aggressive chemicals. These materials remain unaffected by gasoline, diesel, lubricants, acids, bases, and salts, ensuring reliable performance without deterioration.
This combination of oil and chemical resistance makes fluoroelastomer compounds a preferred choice for fuel system seals in automotive applications, as well as protective barriers in chemical pipelines. Their durability helps extend equipment lifespan and maintain system stability in demanding conditions.
