Welcome to learning about Viton O-rings
Viton O-rings offer exceptional resistance to harsh chemicals and temperatures up to 400°F. With one of the strongest seals of any material, Viton O-rings are key in industries where reliability is non-negotiable – including automotive, chemical processing, fuel and oil, and aerospace.
Viton® is a high-performance synthetic rubber ideal for demanding sealing applications. We have thousands of sizes available in both AS568 and metric measurements.
What is Viton® Rubber?
Viton® is a trademarked name for a fluoroelastomer (FKM) synthetic rubber. Viton® rubber is one of the most well-known and commonly used FKM materials, with a reputation for exceptional performance and durability in demanding industrial applications.
Many Viton®/FKM types work well for high-temperature seals and chemical-resistant gaskets, such as A, B, F, GLT, GFLT, and ETP. To find out which Viton type is appropriate for your application, please contact our specialists via email.
Advantages
- Viton O-rings have high heat resistance, as they can work safely in temperatures from -26°C to 232°C.
- Good chemical protection: They stop leaks from gasoline, diesel, mineral oils, acids, and many fuels.
- Long-Lasting: They resist ageing, ozone, and sunlight, so they do not crack easily over time.
- Great Recovery: They can bounce back to their original shape after being crushed under high pressure.
Above are the reasons why we use the Viton rubber so much.
Application
The Viton O-rings have an expansive temperature range and are highly resistant to chemical attacks, which makes usage in aircraft, automobiles and other mechanical devices possible.
