FKM

FKM (Fluoroelastomer) is the preferred sealing material for pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications that require exceptional chemical resistance and high-temperature performance. Designed to withstand aggressive process media, oils, solvents and repeated sterilisation cycles, FKM provides long-lasting sealing reliability in the most demanding hygienic environments.

Ultrapharma’s pharmaceutical-grade FKM compounds are carefully selected to meet the strict quality and regulatory requirements of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries. Our most commonly supplied compound, CMD-1010, combines outstanding mechanical strength with broad chemical compatibility, making it an excellent choice for critical process applications.

About FKM

Ensuring product purity and process integrity across the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

Engineered for Demanding Process Conditions

Critical pharmaceutical manufacturing demands sealing materials that maintain their integrity under extreme operating conditions. Ultrapharma’s FKM compounds are manufactured using carefully controlled formulations that provide consistent performance, excellent dimensional stability and reliable sealing throughout their service life.

Every production batch is fully traceable and undergoes comprehensive quality control. To ensure consistent compound performance, Ultrapharma applies FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) fingerprint analysis, comparing each production batch against a validated reference sample before release. This ensures maximum consistency for customers operating validated pharmaceutical processes.
