Fluoroelastomers Market Key Players 

Some of the leading players operating in the fluoroelastomers market are Asahi Glass Co. (Japan), Daikin Industries (Japan), DuPont (US), Solvay (Belgium), Chemours (US), and 3M (US). These companies also adopted strategies such as new product developments, expansions, and joint ventures to expand their product portfolios and extend their reach to new customers.

Chemours has a strong position in the fluoroelastomers market. The company produces and markets fluoroelastomers under the brand name, Viton. These fluoroelastomers are used in automotive, consumer electronics, chemical processing, oil and gas, petroleum refining and transportation, and aircraft and aerospace applications. The company has entered into a joint venture with Zhonghao Chenguang Research Co. (China), by the name, Chemours Chenguang Fluoromaterials (Shanghai) Co. in February 2015. This company is involved in marketing fluoroelastomer products under the Chenguang and Viton brands. This increased the company’s reach in the Asia Pacific market. Also, in August 2015, Chemours launched a new grade Viton, VTR-9307 with high temperature and chemical resistance along with high acid resistance. This has increased its usability in automotive applications such as EGR sensors, Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), and diesel particulate filters, in addition to O-rings and sleeves for air flow elements.

Fluorocarbon type segment estimated to lead the fluoroelastomers market in 2019

Fluorocarbon (FKM) accounted for the largest share in the overall fluoroelastomers market. The basic grades of fluorocarbon elastomers are based on VDF and HFP monomers and are referred to as FKM in ASTM standards and FPM in ISO standards. It is used widely to manufacture O-rings and seals & gaskets, owing to their low cost and high resistance to oxygen, ozone, and elevated temperatures.
