AS568-345 FFKM O-Ring — 100.97 × 5.33 mm
A thick, durable section engineered for large-diameter static seals and high-tolerance groove applications. With an inside diameter of 100.97 mm and a 5.33 mm cross section, this is a large-bore seal for large-bore machinery and process equipment. Moulded from Aperflu 2275 perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) for continuous service up to 200 °C, this seal resists hot acids, caustics, solvents, fuels and steam.

Semiconductor wafer processing
For non-etch, non-critical areas of semiconductor tooling — such as utility lines, cooling circuits, gas-supply fittings and general wafer handling equipment — Aperflu 2275 delivers dependable, stable sealing performance at a cost-effective price. It is not intended for plasma etch or other critical chamber duties, where dedicated high-purity grades should be selected.
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
Large flanges, vessel and tank closures, heavy machinery and static joints, where Aperflu 2275 outperforms FKM and EPDM in aggressive media and elevated temperature.
Compound properties
| Property | Typical value | Test method |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 70 – 71 Shore A | GB/T 39693.4 |
| Tensile strength | 21.2 – 21.8 MPa | GB/T 528 (dumbbell type 2) |
| Elongation at break | 155 – 170 % | GB/T 528 (dumbbell type 2) |
| Compression set, 200 °C × 70 h (25 %, method B) | 15 – 16 % | GB/T 7759.1 |
All values are typical. Every batch is shipped with an individual certificate of analysis and may differ from the typical values listed here.
Chemical resistance
The fully fluorinated backbone of Aperflu 2275 resists the aggressive media that attack FKM, EPDM and silicone — including concentrated hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric and glacial acetic acids, strong caustics, and a broad range of solvents and fuels. Refer to the rating table below for guidance, and confirm your exact media with our engineers.
