Fluoro Elastomer rubber or Viton is
based on hexafluoropropylene vinylidene fluoride. The
polymer has high resistance to heat with a temperature
range of -40°C to -250°C. It has also possesses a good
flame resistance and are usually self extinguishing.
FKM's have excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone and
natural weathering and also have outstanding resistance
to compression, especially at elevated temperature. Its
resistance to most solvents and chemicals give long
service life as it has excellent resistance against
hydrocarbons, aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated
chemicals and resistance to acids and alkalis including
oxidants. However, they have poor performance against
ethers, ketones and bases. |
