What is the density of Viton?
Density: 1.75 – 1.90 g/cm3 Specific gravity (Relative density): No applicable data available.
Are there different grades of Viton?
There are three major families of standard Viton fluoroelastomer: A, B, and F. The Viton A types are comprised of vinylidene fluoride (VF2) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP). The B and F types are made with vinylidene fluoride (VF2), hexafluoro- propylene (HFP), and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE).
What material is Viton?
synthetic rubber
Viton® is a specific brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer that is commonly used to manufacture chemical resistant o-rings, seals, and gaskets. The material is categorized as an FKM material under ASTM D1418 and ISO 1629 standards.
What durometer is Viton?
75A
Viton is vulnerable to low molecular organic acids, ammonia gas, alkalis, amines, glycol-based brake fluids, and super-heated steam. The durometer hardness of this Viton O-ring is 75A. Durometers measure the hardness of a material and its resistance to permanent indentation.
What is better nitrile or Viton?
General Suitability: Viton® is best suited for diverse sealing jobs that require high temperature and chemical resistance. This makes Viton® far superior to Nitrile in these regards. They are also designed to resist most oils and lubricants, more importantly petroleum-based lubricants.
Is nitrile better than Viton?
This material has low compression set characteristics, making it ideal for use in high temperature environments, as well as resistance to all sorts of chemicals. Viton™ /FKM/FPM is superior to nitrile in almost all situations, excluding operation at sub zero temperatures.
What is the difference between Viton and EPDM?
Viton® and EPDM are elastomers that are commonly used for O-rings. Viton® rubber is a fluoro elastomer, whereas epdm rubber is ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer. The primary differences between Viton® and EPDM is in their chemical resistance and temperature ranges.
What is Kalrez material?
Kalrez® 1050LF is a carbon black-filled product for O-rings, seals, and other parts used in chemical process industries. It has good hot water/steam, and excellent amine resistance. Designed for low-temperature environments where significant chemical resistance is required.
Is FKM Viton material?
Fluoro-Elastomer is usually referred to as FKM FPM or as VITON™ after the popular brand which produces it. You may see this rubber listed in different places with these different names, but they are all one and the same.
Is fluorocarbon same as Viton?
Viton® is the brand name for fluorocarbon rubber polymers of the Chemours Company. This type of polymer is used extensively by ERIKS, however we do not claim or promote the use of any specific brands of polymers in our compounds.
