Fluoroelastomers are fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber. Fluoroelastomers have wide chemical resistance. Fluoroelastomers are used in barrier layers, seals, etc. subjected to the environment and too severe for other elastomers. Fluoroelastomers have long shelf-life at temperature above 150 degree celcius. Fluoroelastomers are having excellent heat & chemical resistance properties due to which they are used for sealing applications in various types of industries. The major industrial application includes energy & power, pharmaceutical & food, oil & gas, chemicals, automotive, aerospace and others. Chemours FKM Fluoroelastomers are used in pharmaceutical, food & beverage industries. Use of Fluorocarbon elastomers (FKM) are used as a key component in industries exposed to harsh chemicals, intense temperature and ozone attacks.

Fluoroelastomers are used in aerospace industries which required sealing applications. Fluoroelastomers are used in other industries like automobile, national defence, mechanical devices include maximum resistance to elevated temperatures and corrosive fluids. Fluoroelastomers have low temperature properties which helps in improving the tolerance to extreme cold conditions. Wide variety of applications in various industries has given rise in Fluoroelastomers market growth.

Rise in automotive & aerospace industries and rate of urbanization

Rise in automotive & aerospace industries is one of the leading factors for the Fluoroelastomers Market. Low production costs, skilled engineering talent are the major factors for rise in automotive & aerospace industries.
