Description

Viton® O-Ring Properties

  • It offers high cost benefits.
  • It is highly resistant to chemicals, temperature, oil, and heat.
  • It has excellent compression set resistance.
  • It is highly flexible and elastic.
  • It has low gas permeability.
  • It is widely compatible with a range of materials, such as metals, plastics, and other elastomers.

Viton® O-Ring Features

  • Excellent resistance to high temperatures with a situational service life above 200°C.
  • Excellent resistance to chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, solvents, and other corrosive materials.
  • Excellent resistance to fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel.
  • Excellent resistance oils, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids.
  • Excellent resistance to aging and ozone.
  • Low compression set.
  • Low gas permeability.

Viton® O-Ring Limitations

  • Low temperature limit with inefficient working below -20°C.
  • Higher compression set at extremely high temperatures.
  • Swelling in certain fluids, such as ketones, esters, amines, and anhydrous ammonia.

Viton® O-Ring Service Temperature*

-15°F (-26°C) to 446°F (230°C)

In the case of specific formulations,

Low Temperature: -65°F (-54°C)

High Temperature: 400°F (204°C)

(*This temperature range is an approximation specifically for dry air service. The actual temperature range of a component in an end-use application can vary depending on factors such as part type, hardware configuration, applied forces, chemical media, pressure, and more.)
