Applications of FKM rubber

Automotive, aerospace, petrochemical and machinery industries are the most widely used areas of fluororubber, and 60% to 70% of fluororubber is used in the automotive industry. The relevant regulations for automobiles will have a profound impact on the application of fluororubber. The biggest challenge for the fluoroelastomer production industry is to help the automotive industry find better and less permeable sealing materials to meet the stringent new automotive emission standards. Fuel system and engine gaskets manufacturers have long focused on fluoroelastomers for the manufacture of fuel and transmission gaskets, hoses, engine intakes and oil resistant gaskets. At present, China's fluorine rubber is facing a good development opportunity.
