FVMQ (Fluoro-silicone)

  • Fluorosilicone combines the good high- and low-temperature properties of silicone with limited fuel and oil resistance.
  • FVMQ provide a much wider operational temperature range than Fluorocarbon rubbers.
  • The working temperature range is considered to be -73°C (-100°F) to 200°C (390°F).
  • FVMQ O-rings may also be exposed to petroleum based oils and/or hydrocarbon fuels.
  • Due to relatively low tear strength, high friction and limited abrasion resistance of these materials, they are generally recommended for static applications only.
  • FVMQ with high tear strength are also available. Some of these compounds exhibit improved resistance to compression set.
  • Disadvantage: too expensive.
