Useful ranges and selection cautions.

These are family level planning ranges. The selected commercial grade and its current data sheet control the design.

Typical densityAbout 1.75 to 2.10 g/cm³
TemperatureOften minus 20 to 200 °C, specialized grades wider
Fuel and oilExcellent for many formulations
Chemical resistanceFamily and fluorine content dependent
Compression setCure and post cure dependent
Low temperatureOften the limiting requirement
CostHigh to very high
Key cautionExact media, base resistance, bonding and post cure

Typical applications
