    Permeation Resistance

    Regulations are getting tougher – not only must automobiles not pollute via the exhaust, they must not allow fuel vapors to permeate through seals and gaskets. Through seal permeation resistance is and will be an important consideration going forward. Precix®’s F86 GF-based High-Fluorine Fluorocarbon offers the best permeation resistance in the industry today.

    F86 Relative Permeation of Elastomers

    Material Permeation Units* SAE J200/ASTM D2000 Designation
    F86 (GF® Based Type)33HK715A1-10B37B38C12EF31EO78Z
    1Z2
    Z1 = DURO 75 +/-5
    Z2 = COLOR GREEN
    GFLT® Type FKM14  
    Fluorocarbon (FKM)36 
    FKM /FVMQ Blend275 
    Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)635 
    HNBR1000 

    * Lower permeation value is better

    Relative Permeation test ASTM D814:
    Gasoline/Methanol (85/15%) @ Room Temperature

    Permeation units = (grams * mm)*(M2 * 24hrs) where:
    ¨ (grams * mm) = grams going through an mm test slab
    ¨ (M2 * 24hrs) = square meters for a day
    “# of grams through an ‘X’ thick slab measured in a square meter for one day”
