FKM & ACM: Advanced Fluoroelastomers from A&D Polymers represent cutting-edge elastomeric technology engineered to perform under the most challenging industrial conditions. With exceptional resistance to heat, aggressive chemicals, oils, and fuels, these high-performance materials meet the rigorous standards of the automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing industries.

Key Features of FKM & ACM: Advanced Fluoroelastomers

FKM (Fluorocarbon Rubber) is based on vinylidene fluoride polymers, delivering outstanding stability and durability in high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments. ACM (Polyacrylate Rubber), derived from acrylate monomers, offers excellent resistance to hot oils and oxidation, making it highly suitable for applications where long-term material integrity is critical.

A&D Polymers provides multiple grades of FKM & ACM: Advanced Fluoroelastomers, each tailored to specific end-use requirements and processing technologies. Expert technical support ensures optimized performance and process compatibility.
