FFKM Manway Gaskets and Handway Gaskets
FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) manway gaskets and handway gaskets are designed for large diameter sealing applications in tanks, vessels, and processing equipment where exposure to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and pressure cycles can quickly degrade standard elastomers. Manway gaskets and handway gaskets play a critical role in maintaining a reliable seal for access ports used in cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, making material performance essential. In addition to manway gaskets and handway gaskets, FFKM is widely used in O-rings, custom molded parts, and tubes for complete sealing system solutions.
At Canyon Components, Canrez® FFKM manway gaskets and handway gaskets are engineered to provide exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term sealing performance in demanding environments. Compared to Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Simriz®, and Parofluor®, Canrez® FFKM offers excellent performance with improved availability and competitive pricing, making it a strong solution for both standard and custom manway gasket and handway gasket applications.
FFKM manway gaskets and handway gaskets are commonly manufactured using molded, compression-molded, continuous molded, or slab-cut fabrication methods, allowing for large diameter and custom geometry seals. Canyon Components can support infinitely large O-ring style gaskets, flat gaskets, and custom profiles, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vessel and equipment designs. Our engineering team works closely with customers to ensure proper material selection, gasket design, and sealing performance for each application.
Common names include: FFKM, Perfluoroelastomer, Perfluorinated Rubber. Trade names: Canrez®, Kalrez®, Chemraz®, Simriz®, Parofluor®.
