An incorrectly specified sealing system can be a critical problem for any industrial process. Perlast FFKM is an advanced material delivering exceptional sealing performance and long-term reliability in the most demanding applications and industries.
What is Perlast FFKM?
Perlast FFKM is a high-performance elastomer material that is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive chemicals. Its unique molecular structure – with a carbon-carbon backbone surrounded by large fluorine atoms – provides a shielding effect which protects FFKM against virtually all types of chemical attack.
Perlast FFKM is manufactured exclusively by Precision Polymer Engineering, a leading manufacturer of high-performance sealing solutions for process industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, food and pharmaceuticals. Precision Polymer Engineering has earned a reputation for excellence in material science and innovation, with sealing products trusted by industry leaders around the world.
Why is Perlast FFKM different?
What sets Perlast FFKM apart from other sealing materials is its ability to maintain sealing force in the most challenging operating environments. Perlast FFKM is able to withstand temperatures ranging from -25°C to 325°C, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications such as steam and gas turbines, with Perlast material grades equally well suited to cryo applications. Additionally, Perlast FFKM gaskets and sealing components are trusted worldwide for their mechanical strength, resistant to compression set, and ensuring 
reliable performance over a long service life.
The chemical resistance of Perlast FFKM is second to none. Elastomer sealing materials can break down quickly in particular chemical environments, resulting in costly equipment downtime. Across strong acids, amines, and aggressive solvents, Perlast FFKM seals remain uncompromised.
Perlast FFKM is also incredibly versatile. The material can be moulded into O-rings, hygienic gaskets, and a range of other custom components, depending on the unique requirements of the application. Our specialist engineers will work collaboratively to gain a deep understanding of a customer’s sealing challenge, before innovating a solution to deliver the best long term reliability and sealing performance.
