ASTM Classification : FK
Temperature Range : -60°C to 175°C
Fluorosilicone or Fluorovinylmethylsiloxane rubber (FVMQ) is a hybrid of Silicone (VMQ) and FKM
FVMQ has great Fuel,Jet Fuel, Mineral Oil, Sunlight & Aging resistance and hence is one of the most widely used in the Aviation Industry.
FVMQ is generally preferred for static applications owing to low tear strength, limited abrasion resistance & high coefficient of friction.
| ADVANTAGES |

| Broad Heat Resistance |
| DISADVANTAGES |
| Poor Abrasion and Tear |
| Poor resistance to Ketones |
| Poor Resistance to Non-Petroleum Based Brake Fluid |
| Poor Resistance to Amines |
