Fluoroelastomer (FKM) gaskets are a great option for using higher temperatures in a closed-loop system or other steps of the extraction process including filtration and decarbing. FKM offers an excellent chemical compatibility with numerous solvents.
FKM Gaskets offer a higher temperature rating and better chemical compatibility than Buna rubber.
Key Features:
High-temperature range
Better compressibility and springiness
Excellent resistance to butane and propane
Better tear resistance
Better chemical resistance
