At Exactseal, we specialize in the manufacturing of high-quality FKM O rings (Fluorocarbon Viton), as well as FFKM O Rings (Perfluorocarbon Kalrez and its substitute like AFLAS, Tecnoflon, Chemraz – all registered trademark of respective organizations). These O-rings are made from fluorocarbon or perfluorocarbon (higher fluorine contents) elastomers, a type of synthetic rubber that is highly resistant to many chemicals, oils, and heat and is ideal for pharmaceutical, oil & gas as well as chemical industries.

FKM Viton, also known as fluorocarbon rubber, is considered the most significant elastomer developed in recent history. It is widely used in various industries due to its excellent aging characteristics, low compression set, and wide range of chemical compatibility.

Our FKM O-Rings and FFKM O-Rings can withstand a wide temperature range from -26°C to +205°/230°C (-15°F to +400°/440°F) and offer resistance to more than 1800 chemicals making these O-rings ideal for universal application across demanding industries like pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, defense & aerospace, to food and beverages, as well as semiconductor processing.

Our FKM Viton and FFKM Kalrez O Ring (incl O rings made from their alternative materials) are highly resistant to mineral oils, vegetable oils, hydrocarbons (diesel fuels, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, jet fuels), greases, non-flammable hydraulic fluids, organic solvents and 1800+ chemicals including acids, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aliphatic compounds. This makes them ideal for use in aircraft, automobiles, discrete manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, dairy, beverage industries, pharmaceuticals manufacturing, etc with high vacuum, high pressure, high temperature, and highly corrosive applications.

At Exactseal, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality FKM Viton O Ring. We believe in the power of this remarkable material and are dedicated to helping our customers find the best sealing solutions for their specific needs.
