Custom FKM Rubber Molding Solution
Zhongren specializes in custom-molded FKM rubber components for demanding sealing applications requiring excellent heat, chemical, and fluid resistance. With extensive experience in high-performance rubber processing, we deliver precision FKM parts that meet stringent industrial and automotive standards. FKM molding provides long-term reliability in aggressive environments where standard rubbers fail.
How Are FKM Rubber Parts Manufactured?
To ensure performance and dimensional accuracy, Zhongren uses advanced molding techniques tailored to the properties of FKM elastomers.
- FKM Compression Molding
- FKM Injection Molding
- FKM Transfer Molding
FKM molding requires precise temperature and timing control due to its narrow curing window. Material preheating and mold temperature consistency are critical for achieving defect-free parts.
Common Applications of FKM Rubber Parts
FKM is widely used in aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, and oil & gas industries, where resistance to heat, fuels, and corrosive fluids is essential.
