Polyacrylate Rubber (ACM) vs Fluoroelastomer (FKM)


Recommended Posts

While shopping for a pinion seal, for the Dana44 in my MJ, I noticed a marked price difference between two National brand seals.

53% price difference from rockauto.

 

National Seal Part Numbers: 5778 and 5778V

 

The only difference between them seam to be material.  What do you guys think? Anyone familiar with theses materials?

I found a webpage that gives a comparison of the two materials, but the reason for the higher cost of the FKM is not immedatly apparent to me.
