Description
FKM gaskets represent the first modeled variant. An important type of FKM is the terpolymer consisting of vinylidene fluoride (VDF), hexafluoropropylene (HFP) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). The respective ecoinvent datasets of the chemicals are used in which HFE is approximated by HFP and VFD by polyvinyl fluoride. As a forming process, the reference process “extrusion, plastic pipes” is used.
