Manufacture by compression (moulding)

However, FPM has some limitations in terms of cold resistance and the cost may be higher compared to some other elastomers on the market.

Flourescent rubber is mainly used in the automotive industry for seals, gaskets and hoses in engines and transmission applications where high chemical and temperature resistance are critical.

It is also used in the aerospace industry, as well as in industries where resistance to aggressive chemicals and extremely variable temperatures is necessary.

First, the raw gum is weighed and processed if necessary. It is then placed in the mould and pressed under high pressure and temperature until it solidifies and takes on the contours of the mould. Finally, the finished product is removed and edges are moulded if necessary.

Advantages of this method include the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of large-scale production, as well as the possibility of using different types of rubber.

Limitations may include longer cycle times and less detail compared to other methods.
