Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM) – High-Performance Sealing Solutions by Silcotech Industry

Fluorocarbon rubber, commonly known as FKM, is a premium synthetic elastomer engineered for demanding environments where conventional rubbers fall short. Its high fluorine content delivers outstanding resistance to extreme heat, aggressive chemicals, fuels, oils, and solvents, while maintaining excellent mechanical strength and long-term durability. These properties make FKM a trusted material for critical sealing applications exposed to harsh operating conditions.

How Silcotech Industry Utilises FKM
At Silcotech Industry, FKM is transformed into precision-engineered gaskets, seals, O-rings, and custom-moulded rubber components tailored to exact application requirements. Leveraging advanced compounding, moulding, and quality control processes, Silcotech ensures consistent performance, tight tolerances, and reliable sealing—even under continuous high temperatures and chemical exposure.
