Product Overview
KAFLON® FKM Flat Washer Gaskets are precision-molded sealing components made from fluorocarbon rubber (FKM), designed for applications requiring excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature performance.
These flat gaskets provide reliable sealing between two flat surfaces, preventing leakage of fluids or gases in demanding environments such as chemical processing, oil & gas, and industrial systems.
Compared to standard rubber gaskets, FKM flat washers offer superior resistance to oils, fuels, acids, and high temperatures, making them ideal for critical sealing applications
