Viton Seals  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Viton® seals In 1957, DuPont launched Viton®, the world's first fluoro rubber, revolutionizing the entire rubber world. Since then Viton® has been continuously improved. To this day, these fluoroelastomer seals have the best performance characteristics. Only silicone can keep up with this, except for its tear resistance. In 2001 Viton®APA became marketable with an improved polymer architecture (APA grades end in -S).FeaturesHigh temperature resistance: Viton® seals can be used at continuous operating temperatures up to 204 °C with temperature peaks up to 315 °C. For example, they are recommended as shaft sealing rings, as they guarantee tightness even at higher revolutions, which lead to increased operating temperatures.The low-temperature flexibility is between -8 and -30 °C. The tear resistance of Viton® gaskets is 20 megapascals The chemical resistance of Viton® is broad and ranges from oils to fuels to acids. Viton®APA is also very resistant to oxidation in a corrosive atmosphere, direct sunlight and ozone. Viton® also has excellent permeation resistance and can help meet the requirements of environmental certificates by reducing emissions.Application exampleTherefore Viton® seals are particularly popular in spray systems, for example. A Swiss company, for example, offers a professional pressure accumulator sprayer with 4 bar operating pressure which, thanks to its Viton® seal, is suitable for universal use in the garden and in industry.Viton® seals have a significantly longer service life than other seals, which has a positive effect on inspection intervals and the maintenance budget. These advantages and the avoidance of potential downtime costs can justify the higher purchase costs, even if the required performance characteristics are not so high. Apartly: Only where "Made with Genuine Viton ®" is written on it is Viton® included.
