Perfluoroelastomer (also known as fluoroelastomer) is a high-performance rubber material with excellent resistance to high temperatures. In general, perfluoroelastomer O-rings can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to about 200°C, making them ideal for high-temperature environments and applications that require excellent chemical resistance.
However, the specific temperature range can vary depending on the perfluoroelastomer material, as there are many different chemistries and formulations within the perfluoroelastomer category. In exceptional cases, some perfluoroelastomers are even able to withstand higher temperatures, exceeding 200°C, depending on the product and manufacturer.
When using perfluoroelastomer O-rings, it is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's technical specifications and temperature resistance data. This data will provide detailed information about that particular material, including temperature range, chemical resistance, physical properties, and more. Ensure that the perfluoroelastomer material selected meets the working conditions and requirements of the actual application.
It is important to note that while perfluoroelastomers have excellent performance at high temperatures, in some extreme high temperatures or special environments, the suitability of the material needs to be carefully evaluated, taking into account other factors such as the nature of the medium and pressure conditions.
