I'm confused, these are abbreviations to the chemicals written just prior to them. Isn't this obvious?Delmlsfan 23:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

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)

[edit] FKM vs Fluoroelastomer

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)

[edit] FPM = another abbreviation for Fluorinated propylene monomer?

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)

Good suggestion. The type 4 and type 5 FKMs are sometimes called FEPM (not FPM). So FEPM is the correct abbreviation. Delmlsfan (talk) 15:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
