Apple Rubber Introduces New Viton® Product Offering

Used for a broad range of products including gaskets, O-rings, Viton® fluoroelastomer is the most specified fluoroelastomer, well known for its excellent (400°F/200°C) heat resistance. Viton® offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals and has worldwide ISO 9000 and ISO/TS 16949 registration.

Whether your application is automotive, chemical processing or any number of other industrial applications, there is a particular type of Viton® that best meets your specific performance requirements. Choose from numerous types of Viton® for superior fluid resistance, low-temperature performance or combinations of these properties.

Performance in Demand
Viton® fluoroelastomer was introduced in 1957 to meet the needs in the aerospace industry for a high-performance elastomer. Since then, the use of Viton® has spread quickly to many other industries, especially in the automotive, fluid power, appliance and chemical industries. With over 40 years of field-proven excellence, Viton® has developed a reputation for its outstanding performance in very hot and extremely corrosive environments.

Particularly valued for its excellent heat stability (200°C) and resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals, Viton® is the most specified fluoroelastomer for fuel system seals and hoses, O-rings, shaft seals, expansion joints and gaskets. New types of Viton® are versatile, offering improved capabilities in steam, solvents, highly caustic environments and low temperatures. Because it extends the thermal resistance of mid-performance elastomers, Viton® is used extensively in aggressive automobile fuel systems, aircraft and chemical processing environments. Viton® is the first fluoroelastomer to achieve worldwide ISO 9000 registration.
