What is the chemical composition of Viton?

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 is Viton coating?

As a Viton™ formulation, PLV2020 provides resistance to corrosive liquids including sulfuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids; oil and fuel; hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. Coating used in jet engine maintenance and other aerospace applications where jet fuel and hydraulic fluids are present.

What is Viton gasket material?

Viton® gaskets are made of high-performance fluoroelastomers that provide outstanding resistance to heat. These rubber gaskets generally support temperatures from 15° F to 400° F and are suitable for applications that reach 500° F intermittently. Gaskets made of Viton® also provide excellent resistance to: oils.

What is the difference between Viton and Buna O rings?

Viton is the choice over Buna for high-temperature applications. Viton seals hold indefinitely at temperatures up to 400°F and can last up to 48 hours at temperatures up to 600°F. Buna is effective to 250°F. Viton offers universal chemical resistance for sealing applications for oils, fuels, and mineral acids.

Is Viton better than Nitrile?

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 Viton better than silicone?

Silicones are very stable at low and high temperatures. Viton provides excellent resistance to compression set at high temperatures which accounts for its ability to maintain sealing force and remain tough and elastic even after long exposure to 392 degree F.

What are the mechanical properties of SC49 mould steel?

SC49 Mould Steel and Mechanical Properties, Chemical Element, Cross Reference, Datasheet.

What kind of chemicals can you put in Viton?

It is a synthetic rubber that resists many hydrocarbons, biodiesel, and petro chemicals, but is NOT compatible with ketones. Do not use Viton with acetone, esters, amines, organic acids, acetic acid, MEK, ethyl acetate, highly polar chemicals, etc.

What are the properties of Viton rubber seal?

If you need properties that are slightly different than the ones listed below, we can compound the formulation of the rubber material so that the Viton® rubber specifications suit your needs. Finding the correct material is important as the seal can degrade easily if the material is not compatible with the environment.

What kind of fluoride is used in Viton rubber?

The B and F types are made with vinylidene fluoride (VF2), hexafluoro- propylene (HFP), and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). Viton fluoroelastomer products are designated as A, B, or F types according to their relative resistance to attack by fluids and chemicals.
