FKM (Viton®) is the go-to fluoroelastomer for heat and chemical resistance, but its temperature window depends on grade and cure system. This guide explains the real FKM temperature range and what degrades it.
When NBR or FKM fails under sour gas, high dynamic load, or aggressive chemicals, engineers step up to HNBR and FFKM. This guide compares them and shows where to specify each in extreme service.
