1.1 Form:This specification covers a fluorocarbon (FKM) rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing,extrusions, and molded shapes.1.2 Application:These products have been used typically in components in contact with air and a wide variety offuels, synthetic lubricants, and specific hydraulic fluids from -29 to +204 °C (-20 to +400 °F), butusage is not limited to such applications. Each application should be considered individually.This class of fluoroelastomers is not recommended for use in high temperature stabilized,“HTS”, engine oils. Each “HTS” oil should be evaluated separately.1.3 Safety - Hazardous Materials:While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in thisspecification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not addressthe hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensurefamiliarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessaryprecautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
