Interest in perfluorinated elastomers (FFKM) has grown significantly as end-use applications have become more demanding in regards to chemical and thermal resistance, especially in the Oil & Gas, Automotive, Heavy Duty, & Aerospace industries.  This presentation will focus on the basic polymer chemistry involved with FFKM materials, their cure chemistries, mixing & processing, performance capabilities, and end-use applications & considerations.
