Features Of Solvay Tecnoflon PL 557 FKM Elastomer

  1. High fluorine content (≈68 wt%) for exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals and hydrocarbons.

  2. Optimized for low-temperature flexibility with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of approximately −15 °C.

  3. Excellent compression set resistance, maintaining sealing integrity under prolonged thermal and mechanical stress.

  4. Good processability in standard rubber compounding and molding equipment, including injection and compression molding.

  5. Outstanding resistance to high-temperature aging up to 200 °C in air and inert atmospheres.

Typical Applications Of Solvay Tecnoflon PL 557 FKM Elastomer

  1. Aerospace fuel system seals and diaphragms exposed to jet fuels and synthetic lubricants.

  2. Automotive powertrain components, including turbocharger hoses and valve stem seals.

  3. Chemical processing equipment gaskets and O-rings handling strong acids, bases, and solvents.

  4. Oil & gas downhole elastomeric parts subjected to sour gas (H₂S), CO₂, and high-pressure hydrocarbons.

  5. Semiconductor manufacturing fluid-handling seals requiring ultra-low extractables and plasma resistance.
