You are absolutely right, but as you can see from the article's history those descriptions didn't exist when the todos were published here. 159.235.52.252 12:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Common usage in the US (at least) is the word fluoroelastomer for vinylidene-fluoride-based elastomers. Even this article uses the term. FKM is only an abbreviation. Should this entire content be listed under fluoroelastomer instead? Delmlsfan 03:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
as the article describes FKMs are not the only kind of fluoroelastomers 159.235.52.252 12:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
A search for "FPM" (to find out what it means relating to materials of construction for a pump) landed me on a disambiguation page. I selected "Fluorinated propylene monomer" as the item I was probably looking for, which took me to "FKM". I see no reference to FPM on the FKM page. Is FPM an appropriate alternative abbreviation? If so, please add this somewhere (including disambiguation page). Thanks.--CheMechanical (talk) 17:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Ionic crosslinking is the preferred terminology among users of FKM today. Please do not revert this edit. Delmlsfan (talk) 01:26, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

The Viton article is a redundant WP:POVFORK of this. The encyclopedic information there is largely duplicative of this article, and the rest of it appears to serve a spammy, promotional purpose for a specific brand name (and it was not the only one; in the course of ensuring that the other brand names mentioned herein redirected to this article, I found that one was going to the company in a promotional manner, and two had once been articles that were speedily deleted as "unambiguous promotion"). The lead of the present (target) article is also problematic in this regard, over-dwelling on company and brand names, while the entire article is almost devoid of meaningful information about the properties of this substance and why it's appropriate for the various claimed applications. We need to move all the manufacturer and brand name material to a section for that, other than mention that it was originally developed by DuPont (1802–2017), then improve the main article text and its lead. I've alerted WT:CHEM to this discussion. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 14:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I can't find any information on what, exactly, FKM stands for, but I think it should be included in this article. I'd assume the F is "fluorine" or "fluoro-something", but if anyone can find what the K and M stand for, please add it, my curiosity is getting the better of me! 72.35.141.122 (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
