ELA-FFKM
the “all-rounder”
General information
ELA-FFKM combines the elasticity of fluorinated elastomers (FKM) with the chemical resistance of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), enabling even the most challenging sealing problems to be solved. When standard elastomers reach their limits, our ELA-FFKM materials can often be used.
ELA-FFKM is also suitable for direct contact with highly aggressive media. It is highly resistant to around 1800 chemicals and can also be used where special safety or purity requirements apply. Depending on the compound, extreme operating temperatures of down to -45°C or up to +350°C are possible.
Our ELA-FFKM compounds are a genuine alternative to the mixtures of various commercial brands, some of which are over 40 years old. Naturally, they are at least equal to these, and in many respects even superior—and at significantly lower costs.
The following variants are available:
Colors: white, cream, beige, amber, green, black
Sub-zero temperature range: -45 to -15°C
Positive temperature range: +260 to +330°C (briefly 350°C)
Possible approvals/conformities:
- FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
- USP Class VI
- 3A Sanitary Standard Nr. 18-03 Class II
- EU 1935/2004
