Key differences Temperature ceiling : Chemraz 633 runs 57°C hotter (327°C vs 270°C). Specify the higher-rated compound when continuous service is above 270°C.Hardness : Both are 90 Shore A, so groove design and squeeze percentage are interchangeable.Manufacturer : Chemraz 633 is from Greene Tweed; Perlast G90A is from Precision Polymer Engineering. Lead time and UK availability vary by brand.Cost : FFKM pricing varies by manufacturer, batch size, and stock position. Both compounds are at the premium end of elastomer pricing (£30 to £500+ per O-ring depending on size).Get a UK quote on either compound
