FFKM for Extreme High Temperature
Extreme high temperature environments demand sealing materials that can maintain integrity, elasticity, and chemical resistance far beyond the limits of standard elastomers. FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) O-rings, gaskets, custom parts, and tubes are specifically engineered to perform in continuous high temperature applications exceeding 500°F (260°C) and even higher in intermittent conditions. These materials are widely used where thermal degradation, compression set, and chemical attack would quickly cause failure in FKM, EPDM, or silicone.
At Canyon Components, Canrez® FFKM high temperature compounds such as CP75BK20, CP75BK31, CP75WH20, and CP75BK01 are designed to provide exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and long-term sealing performance in extreme environments. These materials are optimized for applications involving aggressive chemicals combined with sustained high heat, offering a strong alternative to Kalrez® and Chemraz® with excellent availability, competitive pricing, and reliable performance.
In extreme heat, maintaining sealing force and minimizing compression set are critical. Canrez® FFKM O-rings, gaskets, and custom parts are formulated to retain their mechanical properties and resist hardening, cracking, or shrinkage, even after prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. Canyon Components engineers can assist with compound selection, part design, and application-specific recommendations to ensure optimal performance in high temperature systems.
Common names include: FFKM, Perfluoroelastomer, Perfluorinated Rubber. Trade names: Canrez®, Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Simriz®, Parofluor®.
