FLUORATED RUBBER (FKM, Viton ®)

  • Fluoro rubber is by far the best elastomer available.
  • It offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, aliphatic hydrocarbons, oils, ozone, steam and a large number of corrosive applications.
  • Not suitable for amines, esters, ketones and steam.
  • Wide range of working temperatures.

Technical characteristics of Viton®

  • Excellent thermal resistance: 250ºC in continuous use, with peaks up to 300ºC.
  • Excellent resistance to hydrocarbons.
  • Excellent resistance to oils, greases and lubricants.
  • Self-extinguishing: does not allow the propagation of the flame.
  • Excellent resistance to UV rays and weathering.
  • Excellent compression set at high temperatures.
  • Excellent resistance to acids and alkalis.
  • Weak resistance to esters and ketones.
