AS568-013 FFKM O-Ring — 10.82 × 1.78 mm
A compact, low-squeeze section for light-duty static and slow dynamic seals in smaller bore assemblies. With an inside diameter of 10.82 mm and a 1.78 mm cross section, this is a small-bore seal for compact assemblies and small-bore equipment. Moulded from Aperflu 2275 perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) for continuous service up to 200 °C, this seal resists hot acids, caustics, solvents, fuels and steam.

Chemical and petrochemical processing
Pumps, valves, reactors and dosing systems handling hot organic and inorganic acids, caustics, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers, alcohols, fuels and mixed process streams. Where FKM swells and degrades, this perfluoroelastomer keeps its sealing force and dimensional stability, extending mean time between repairs and cutting unplanned downtime.
Why Aperflu 2275 FFKM
Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) is the most chemically and thermally resistant elastomer class available — rated for continuous use beyond 200 °C and stable against well over 1,600 chemicals, which is why it is specified where FKM, silicone and EPDM fail.
Typical applications
Pneumatic fittings, low-pressure hydraulic circuits, valve stems and quick-connect couplings, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.
