Viton fluoroelastomers are available in four main families: A, B, F and ETP, each with its own unique performance characteristics.
A key difference between the Viton™ product range is fluid resistance, which is based on the fluorine content of the polymer.
This property is determined by the types and relative amounts of the particular monomers that make up the polymer.
Fluid resistance generally increases with increasing fluorine content (see table below). With the increase of fluorine content,
However, low temperature flexibility is reduced. This helps designers and engineers balance fluid resistance and
Low temperature flexibility for final vulcanization.
The choice of which Viton product to use for any particular application will depend on the end use service. choose
Ultimately the appropriate fluoroelastomer will be determined according to the needs:
* Resistant to amines or corrosives
* Resistant to hydrocarbon fluids
* Flexibility at low temperature (the ability to maintain a seal at low temperatures)
