Product Description
Viton
Viton is most noted for its resistance to elevated temperatures, chemicals, atmospheric oxidation and sun exposure. Due to these properties, Viton is suited for demanding uses in aerospace, automotive, chemical and hydraulic applications. Viton is available in sheet, tube and cord form and is black in color.
Extensive Resistance and DurabilityViton Fluoroelastomer Rubber offers remarkable longevity thanks to its excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and ozone. The material remains stable across a wide temperature range and is self-extinguishing under fire exposure, making it ideal for critical environments. Its low compression set and high tear strength ensure reliability over an extended service life.
Versatile ApplicationsWidely used in the automotive, electrical, oil & gas, and chemical industries, Viton's superior properties enable its use in seals, gaskets, and insulation. The product's customized sizing and configuration options (rolls, sheets, or pads) allow it to meet precise user requirements and diverse industrial needs.
Safe, Efficient, and CustomizableViton contains nil sulfur and low levels of ash, nitrogen, and volatile matter, resulting in a clean, high-purity product. With a good coefficient of friction and excellent adhesion, it provides secure installation. Its smooth finish and customizable dimensions guarantee effective integration into any system design.
FAQ's of Viton:
Q: How is Viton Fluoroelastomer Rubber typically used in industry?
A: Viton Fluoroelastomer Rubber is commonly used for seals, gaskets, pads, and sheets in automotive, electrical, mechanical, chemical, oil & gas, and aerospace applications due to its superior resistance to chemicals, oils, and heat.
Q: What is the benefit of Viton's high compression set and elongation at break?
A: A high elongation at break (200% min) ensures flexibility and adaptability during installation, while a compression set below 35% after prolonged heat exposure means it maintains its shape and sealing properties even in demanding environments.
Q: When should Viton be chosen over natural rubber or other elastomers?
A: Viton should be selected when applications involve exposure to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures (up to +250C), or where excellent oil, solvent, and ozone resistance is essential. Its durability far exceeds that of standard rubbers in harsh conditions.
Q: Where can Viton products be sourced in India?
A: Viton sheets, rolls, pads, and gaskets are available through distributors, suppliers, and traders across India. Many offer customized dimensions to suit specific industry needs.
Q: What is the recommended process for storing Viton to maximize its shelf life?
A: To achieve the 10-year shelf life, Viton should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and ozone-producing electrical equipment. Proper storage preserves its mechanical and chemical properties.
Q: How does the coefficient of friction of Viton influence its applications?
A: With a dry coefficient of friction of 0.8, Viton offers a good balance between grip and ease of installation, reducing slippage while allowing components like gaskets and pads to seat securely.
