Chemraz® (FFKM)– (Green Tweed’s trademark name) Chemraz® is the Green Tweed version of Kalrez® (a Dupont trademark), Simriz® (a Simrit trademark), Markez® (a Marco Rubber trademark) or FFKM. It is also a member of the perfluoroelastomer polymer family—polymers of three or more monomers in which all hydrogen positions have been replaced with fluorine. This complete state of fluorination results in outstanding resistance to heat and most chemicals and solvents.
