Product Advantages
Forever Seals’ FVMQ fluorosilicone O-rings stand out with unmatched thermal stability (operating range: -55°C to 200°C) and superior resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and harsh chemicals. They combine silicone’s flexibility with fluoropolymer’s durability, ensuring long-lasting sealing performance without deformation. The material’s low compression set and excellent weatherability reduce maintenance frequency, delivering cost-effective reliability for critical systems.
Working Principle
These O-rings create a secure, leak-tight seal by leveraging radial compression between mating surfaces. When installed in grooves, the FVMQ material’s inherent elasticity exerts continuous pressure against contact points, blocking the passage of fluids, gases, or contaminants. The fluorosilicone composition maintains structural integrity even under extreme temperatures or chemical exposure, ensuring consistent sealing efficiency in dynamic or static applications.
