ASTM Classification : FK
Temperature Range : -60°C to 175°C
Fluorosilicone or Fluorovinylmethylsiloxane rubber (FVMQ) is a hybrid of Silicone (VMQ) and FKM
FVMQ has great Fuel,Jet Fuel, Mineral Oil, Sunlight & Aging resistance and hence is one of the most widely used in the Aviation Industry.
FVMQ is generally preferred for static applications owing to low tear strength, limited abrasion resistance & high coefficient of friction.
