O-Ring 2.60mm ID x 1.90mm CS Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) 60 ShA blue -59°C to +175°C

Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) is a specialised elastomer that combines the excellent flexibility and low-temperature performance of silicone with the superior chemical resistance and high-temperature stability of fluorine-based compounds. This unique blend makes it an ideal material for sealing applications exposed to a variety of challenging environments, including aggressive chemicals, high and low temperatures, and environmental stresses. Fluorosilicone O-rings are particularly effective in sealing applications that require resistance to fuels, oils, chemicals, and extreme temperature variations. However, given their relatively low tear strength, high friction, and limited abrasion resistance, these materials are typically best suited for static applications. Fluorosilicone O-rings are commonly used in industries such as automotive, chemical processing, oil & gas, and pharmaceuticals, where sealing solutions need to endure high temperatures, chemical exposure, and extreme environmental conditions. Their versatility and ability to provide reliable sealing performance in critical applications ensure long-lasting durability and exceptional sealing integrity.
