FKM Gaskets are high-performance sealing components manufactured from fluoroelastomer rubber and designed for industrial applications where resistance to elevated temperatures, oils, fuels, hydrocarbons and demanding chemicals is essential. FKM material offers a combination of thermal stability, chemical resistance and reliable sealing performance, making it suitable for equipment operating under challenging service conditions.
Vertex Rubber manufactures and supplies FKM Gaskets in different shapes, dimensions, thicknesses and configurations to meet specific industrial sealing requirements. These gaskets can be produced according to customer drawings, samples or application specifications and are suitable for static sealing applications in machinery, pipelines, valves, pumps, process equipment and industrial systems.
Vertex Rubber is an experienced manufacturer and supplier of FKM Gaskets in India, offering customized fluoroelastomer sealing solutions for various industrial applications. Our FKM Gaskets are manufactured using carefully selected rubber compounds to provide dependable sealing against oils, fuels, hydrocarbons and other compatible industrial fluids.
FKM Gaskets can be manufactured in customized profiles, sizes and thicknesses according to the requirements of individual equipment and components. Whether a standard gasket or a specially designed sealing component is required, the product can be developed based on technical drawings, dimensions, samples and operating conditions.
The correct FKM grade is selected according to application requirements such as temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility and exposure conditions. This is important because different FKM formulations can provide different levels of chemical and temperature resistance.
FKM Gaskets are widely selected for industrial sealing applications where conventional elastomers may not provide sufficient resistance to heat, oils, fuels or aggressive fluids. The fluoroelastomer base provides excellent resistance to many hydrocarbon-based fluids and good resistance to ozone and weathering.
Vertex Rubber supplies FKM Gaskets across India for industrial machinery, process equipment, automotive systems, oil and gas applications, chemical processing equipment and other demanding sealing requirements.
Our FKM Gaskets can be manufactured in customized dimensions to accommodate different flange arrangements, grooves, covers, joints and mating surfaces. Customers can specify required dimensions, thickness, hardness, compound and design depending on their application.
FKM Gaskets are used in industries where sealing components are exposed to elevated temperatures, petroleum-based fluids, fuels, lubricants and various industrial chemicals.
Common applications include:
FKM is particularly useful in applications involving mineral oils, fuels, greases and many non-polar fluids. However, material compatibility should always be evaluated against the actual fluid, temperature and service conditions.
FKM Gaskets provide several properties that make them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Typical FKM compounds can provide continuous service temperatures around 200°C, although the actual operating range depends on the selected compound and application conditions.
FKM Gaskets can be manufactured using different fluoroelastomer formulations to address specific sealing requirements. Depending on the application, available options may include:
Standard FKM GasketDesigned for general industrial sealing applications involving oils, fuels and elevated temperatures.
High Temperature FKM GasketSuitable for applications where the sealing component is exposed to higher operating temperatures.
Chemical Resistant FKM GasketManufactured using an appropriate FKM compound for applications involving compatible industrial chemicals.
Oil Resistant FKM GasketDesigned for sealing applications involving mineral oils, lubricants and petroleum-based fluids.
Fuel Resistant FKM GasketSuitable for selected fuel-handling and automotive applications where fuel resistance is an important requirement.
Customized FKM GasketManufactured according to customer drawings, samples, dimensions and application requirements. Different FKM families and formulations can vary in fluorine content and chemical resistance, so selecting the appropriate compound is important for achieving the desired service life.
FKM Flange Gaskets are used between mating flange surfaces to create a reliable static seal and prevent leakage of compatible fluids. They can be manufactured in circular, oval, rectangular or other customized configurations according to flange dimensions
FKM flange gaskets are particularly useful where the sealing environment involves oils, fuels, hydrocarbons or elevated temperatures. Proper flange condition, compression, gasket dimensions and material compatibility are essential for achieving reliable sealing performance.

An FKM Gasket is a sealing component manufactured from fluoroelastomer rubber. FKM is widely selected for applications requiring resistance to heat, oils, fuels, hydrocarbons and various chemicals.
FKM is the generic material designation for fluoroelastomer, while Viton™ is a trade name associated with specific fluoroelastomer products. Therefore, it is better to specify the required FKM compound or grade rather than relying only on a trade name.
FKM Gaskets are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, automotive, chemical processing, pump, valve, hydraulic and industrial machinery applications.
The temperature capability varies according to the particular FKM formulation and application. Many commonly used FKM compounds are suitable for continuous service around 200°C. The actual operating temperature should always be confirmed against the manufacturer's compound data.
Yes. FKM generally provides excellent resistance to many mineral oils, fuels and hydrocarbon-based fluids, which is one of the major reasons it is selected for demanding sealing applications.
Yes. FKM Gaskets can be manufactured in customized shapes, dimensions, thicknesses and profiles according to drawings, samples or application requirements.
No. FKM provides broad chemical resistance but is not universally compatible with every chemical. Ketones, certain amines, some esters and specific aggressive media can require alternative sealing materials. Temperature and exposure duration can also affect compatibility.
Important information includes gasket dimensions, thickness, shape, hardness, operating temperature, pressure, sealing media, application conditions and, where available, a drawing or sample.
