FKM Viton Tri-Clamp Gaskets

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
