Katon® 5000 Series Get a Quote

The Katon® 5000 Series, made from FEPM-E (VITON™ ETP) as the base material, provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to FFKM in demanding chemical environments. These materials offer excellent resistance to alkalis, amines, acids, and high temperatures, ensuring reliable performance even in high-concentration and high-temperature chemical processes.

Designed for robustness and durability, the Katon® 5000 Series is ideal for applications that require strong sealing properties and chemical resistance, all while providing a significantly lower cost compared to FFKM materials. This series delivers exceptional performance in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical, and other high-demand environments where reliability is crucial.
