FVMQ is a durable elastomer that shares the mechanical properties and temperature stability of silicone (VMQ). However, compared to standard VMQ, FVMQ has better resistance towards mineral oil, fuels, and solvents.
Salient Features:
Chemical resistant
Compression set resistant
Extreme temperature performance
High thermal resistance
Common Applications
Aviation fuel seals
Automotive fuel seals
Static sealing applications
Diaphragms, o-rings, seals, gaskets, and hose lining
Properties:
Hardness: 45-80 Shore A
Temperature resistance: -60° C to + 200° C
Standard colors: Blue
Advantages:
FVMQ compounds work well with aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene. fuels, toluene, aromatic mineral oils, ozone, and weather applications.
Limitations:
FVMQ compounds are prone to hydrazine, brake fluids, and ketones.
