FFKM and FEPM Compounds Offer Unparalleled Advantages in Harsh Valve Sealing Applications

Total Valve is excited to introduce our ValvChem-K™ and ValvChem-A™ range of FFKM and FEPM seals for the valve industry.

O-rings and other seals made from thermoset fluorinated elastomers, such as Kalrez® (FFKM) and Aflas® (FEPM), are exceptionally well suited for a wide range of severe service applications. The big challenge to the use of these specialized materials has always been cost. Another, more recent challenge is availability. Total Valve Systems is addressing both of these issues with our new ValvChem™ line of premium fluoroelastomer valve sealing compounds that offer both competitive pricing and immediate availability.

ValvChem™ Seals are Engineered and Manufactured by Total Valve Specifically for Demanding Valve Applications.

Is the FFKM seal shortage putting you in a bind? Total Valve has you covered.

Worldwide supply chain disruptions have led to a chronic shortage of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) seal materials. In response, the technical engineering team at Total Valve Systems has launched a proprietary range of FFKM (compare to Kalrez® from DuPont) )and FEPM (compare to Aflas® from AGC) O-rings designed for challenging valve applications. Our materials meet or exceed the specs of the market leading compounds and our O-rings are manufactured in our hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
