Permeation occurs when gas or liquid molecules diffuse through an elastomer, potentially leading to pressure loss or contamination. Selecting low-permeation O-rings and gaskets made from materials like FKM, FFKM, or PTFE minimizes leakage and ensures long-term sealing performance in vacuum, fuel, and chemical systems.
