Features

Heat resistance guide*: 200°C
Standard hardness (Duro A): 60
It is a material that is not susceptible to suffering a reduction in weight or cracks due to plasma exposure.
As it has excellent non-stickiness, it can also be used with movable parts without any problems.
It has a low metal content, thereby reducing any particle-related problems.

Applications

Can be used in semiconductor & LCD manufacturing equipment, the sealed parts that are exposed to the plasma environment
Parts that have problems in terms of lifespan and particles with FKM.
Parts for which the cost and performance are too great with FFKM.

TOMBO™ No. 2670-FA-F Rubber O-ring Fluoro-Plus (Special FKM)

TOMBO™ No. 2670-FA-F

Rubber O-ring Fluoro-Plus
Fluoro-Plus is a special fluoroelastomer (Special FKM) that maintains the chemical resistance and heat resistance of a regular fluoroelastomer but has significantly improved wear resistance and non-stickiness.
Fluoro-Plus is different from outer membrane coatings and is a product that undergoes treatment by way of a surface improvement method. As a result, it maintains its attributes over the long term and it experiences no peeling of the surface layer.

Features

Heat resistance guide*: 200°C
Standard hardness (Duro A): 70
It Its friction coefficient is about 1/2 of a standard fluoro elastomer.
Its adhesion with metal is about 1/5 of a standard fluoro elastomer.
It undergoes surface modifying processing and so there is no peeling of the surface layer. 

Applications

Sealing of parts that continuously slide or move along a surface, parts that open and close repeatedly (sealing of various control valves), and parts that adhere strongly to metal and are difficult to maintain

Precautions for use

Fluoro-Plus is less adaptable to mating surfaces than Fluoroelastomer FA, so do not use it for applications that require a high vacuum seal.

Non-adhesive
