Simriz® FFKM Sealing Solutions for Extreme Conditions

Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) O-rings and seals for aggressive chemicals, high and low temperatures and high-purity service. We help you find the right Simriz material for your application.

What Simriz Provides

Simriz is Freudenberg Sealing Technologies' family of FFKM perfluoroelastomer compounds. Simriz compounds approach PTFE chemical resistance while resisting temperatures up to 325 °C.

You don't need to choose a compound. Send us your operating conditions and we'll review the material with the manufacturer. Lead times: in-stock items ship in 2 weeks or less; out-of-stock items in 5 to 6 weeks. Expedite options are available.

  • Broad chemical resistance, including strong acids, strong bases and amines
  • Low-temperature service to -30 °C (-22 °F) with Simriz 481
  • FDA, USP Class VI and 3-A compliant material for sanitary service
  • Specialized compounds for semiconductor and aerospace service
