Uses
1. in the aerospace industry
High temperature resistance: In the aerospace industry, FKM hoses are often used in pipework for liquid fuels and oxidising agents as well as in hydraulic systems and cold air systems. These applications require extremely high temperature resistance of the material, and FKM is able to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and maintain its elasticity and functionality in both low and high temperature environments.
Chemical resistance: FKM is also used in transmission lines for hydraulic fluids, fuel and other chemicals in aeroplanes, as it has excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals. In aerospace, the safety of fluid transmission is of paramount importance and any leakage can have serious consequences, so the chemical resistance of FKM has become an important reason for its wide use in this field.
2. automotive industry
Fuel system: In the automotive industry, the use of FKM hoses in the fuel system is rapidly increasing with the tightening of environmental regulations and advances in automotive technology. The FKM material used in the inner layer of the fuel hose is resistant to high temperatures and degraded petrol, which improves the durability of the fuel system and reduces fuel permeation.
Engine systems: Applications for FKM hoses in automotive engines include turbocharger hoses, engine oil seals and other components. These applications require hoses that can be used for long periods of time at high temperatures and pressures and have excellent resistance to oil and chemicals.
3.industrial
Chemical processing: In chemical processing and petroleum refining, the piping must transport a variety of corrosive liquids and gases; FKM hoses are often used due to their excellent chemical resistance.
Mechanical seals: FKM excels in the field of mechanical seals due to its high temperature and chemical resistance and is used to manufacture seals for various pumps, valves and piping systems.
4. Medical sector
Medical devices: FKM hoses can be used in medical devices, especially those that require high temperature and chemical resistance, such as certain types of surgical instruments.
5. Food processing industry
Food equipment: In the food industry, strict safety standards apply to the hose materials used in the equipment. FKM hoses can be used in food production equipment in contact with the food part because they have good temperature resistance and do not easily produce harmful substances.
