Rezinfluor® FFKM PERFLUORELASTOMER
REZINFLUOR brand perfluoroelastomers are a class of elastomers corresponding to the code >FFKM< according to the classification given by the international standard ASTM D 1418.
Therefore, the >FFKM< code does not correspond to a single material, but the >FFKM< family constitutes a class of many different formulation types, each of them specific for the various application orientations.
The very high chemical inertia, deriving from the strong presence of fluorine (F), >72%, chemically linked directly to carbon (C) with one of the most stable chemical bonds existing in terms of energy, gives this class of elastomeric materials resistance characteristics chemical and thermal properties superior to those of all other elastomers.
For many areas of use, from process chemistry to oil & gas, via the semiconductor industry or for applications in the aeronautical propulsion sector, there is currently no alternative to the use of perfluoroelastomers, >FFKM<, precisely in due to their performance specificity.

ISO 8 Clean Room
The Rezingom Clean Room is classified according to the degree of cleanliness of the air inside the controlled environment.
The Clean Room class is the level of cleanliness to which the room complies, based on the quantity and size of the particles per cubic meter of air (1-9).
The primary authority in NAFTA is the ISO classification system ISO 14644-1
FFKM Compound Technical features
