Joint materials project
The component described is based on Syensqo's patented Tecnoflon FKM NFS technology. According to the company, the solution combines high sealing performance with a polymerization process that does not use fluorosurfactants. The material has already been implemented in some of the latest General Motors vehicles. The information provided did not include additional technical parameters of the O-ring or the scale of implementation, but indicated that the project is an example of materials collaboration carried out for demanding applications.
