In the chemical and petrochemical industry, as well as off shore productions, regular 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluorelastomer O-rings are used as standard sealing solutions in harsh and hot environments to optimize cost and ensure long-life cycle performance. The broad range of 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomers enables processors to meet specific industrial requirements. And if ultimate sealing performance, reliability and safety is required, 3M™ Dyneon™ Perfluoroelastomer compounds are ready to make the grade.

There are numerous applications for O-rings in automotive and aerospace systems. For the most demanding areas, such as the fuel containment systems, fluoroelastomer O-rings are the first choice when it comes to long-lasting parts which withstand high temperatures and today‘s aggressive automotive and also aircraft fluids. 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluorelastomers exhibit a well-balanced performance profile of durability and processability.

Especially for demanding automotive applications, such as fuel injector O-rings, dedicated products have proven to be the materials of choice. The products of the Dyneon Fluoroelastomer 5500 series (terpolymers with low fluorine content) have been chosen by major system suppliers.
