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.

Permeation and Outgassing in Seals

Vacuum baking removes moisture, gases, and contaminants from elastomers and components before installation. This process ensures optimal performance in vacuum, semiconductor, and aerospace applications where cleanliness and outgassing control are essential.
