Viton seals

Q1: What are Viton seals made of?
Viton seals are made from fluoroelastomer (FKM), a synthetic rubber known for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and fuels.

Q2: How long do Viton seals last?
Viton seals typically last longer than standard rubber seals because they resist wear, oxidation, and chemical degradation. In many industrial settings, they can last for several years.

Q3: What temperature can Viton seals withstand?
Most Viton seals operate between -20°C and +205°C, with specialty grades tolerating up to +250°C.

Q4: Are Viton seals better than nitrile (NBR) seals?
Yes, Viton seals offer superior chemical and temperature resistance compared to nitrile seals, making them better for demanding applications. However, nitrile may still be cost-effective for lower-stress environments.

Q5: Where are Viton seals commonly used?
They are widely used in automotive fuel systems, aerospace engines, oil & gas equipment, chemical processing plants, and industrial machinery.
