Parker Hannifin Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) Elastomers
Parker Hannifin Fluorosilicone elastomer materials are designed for sealing applications requiring excellent fuel resistance combined with outstanding low temperature flexibility. Fluorosilicone, also known as FVMQ, is commonly used in O-rings, gaskets, diaphragms, valve seals, fuel system seals, aerospace seals, and custom molded rubber parts exposed to fuels, oils, solvents, and extreme temperature environments. These materials are widely specified in aerospace systems, aviation fuel systems, automotive fuel systems, military equipment, and industrial sealing applications where standard Silicone materials would not provide sufficient fuel resistance.
Canyon Components supplies high quality equivalents to many Parker Fluorosilicone elastomer compounds used throughout aerospace, automotive, and industrial sealing systems. Our team supports replacement O-rings, gaskets, and custom molded sealing components manufactured from FVMQ compounds for fuel systems, aviation systems, and low temperature sealing applications. We also provide engineering support for fuel compatibility analysis, low temperature sealing performance, and aerospace sealing requirements.
Common names include: Fluorosilicone rubber, FVMQ elastomer, fuel resistant silicone, low temperature fuel resistant rubber
Trade names include: Parker®, Fluorosilicone, FVMQ
