Viton Rubber Compound

Products made with viton fluoroelastomers retain their flexibility shape and seal when exposed to chemicals and high temperatures.

Viton rubber compound.

Viton freeflow extrusion process aids also improve processing increase output and reduce waste. While viton can be sometimes distinguished from other types of rubber by its often green or brown colour a more reliable test is its density of over 1800 kg m 3 significantly higher than most types of rubber 1010 1520 kg m 3. Viton is a fluor elastomer brand and our supplier for fkm rubber compounds. Fkm viton rubber compounds fluorocarbon often referred to as viton rubber offers increased oil solvent and chemical and heat resistance than other common elastomers.

Viton fluoroelastomer was introduced in 1957 to meet the needs in the aerospace industry for a high performance sealing elastomer. The fkm polymer is supplied by several polymer suppliers. Since then the use of viton fluoroelastomer has spread quickly to many other industries required industrial rubber compounds especially in the automotive fluid power appliance and chemical industries. The terms viton fkm and fpm often causes confusion in the rubber compound industry.
