What is Viton tubing?

Table of Contents

Offers the widest range of fluid and chemical resistance of any commercial rubber. Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants and most mineral acids. Also resistant to many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene and xylene.

What are the new age industries?

NewAge Industries is a leading independent, employee-owned manufacturer of fluid transfer systems that produces high-quality tubing, hose, fittings, clamps, and accessories and offers expert project guidance and services.

Is Viton flexible?

Viton tubing withstands high temperatures, resists a variety of chemicals, oils, and fuels, and is more flexible than PTFE tubing for use in lubrication systems, automotive fluid transfer, and chemical transfer applications.

Is Viton resistant to acetone?

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 is Fluoroelastomer rubber?

fluoroelastomer, also called fluorocarbon elastomer, any of a number of synthetic rubbers made by copolymerizing various combinations of vinylidene fluoride (CH2=CF2), hexafluoropropylene (CF2=CFCF3), chlorotrifluoroethylene (CF2=CFCl), and tetrafluoroethylene (C2=F4).

How strong is Viton?

High temperatures: A Viton™ o ring will withstand temperatures from -20°C up to 210°C. Chemicals: Viton™ can withstand a range of chemicals, including oils, acids, silicone fluids and gasses as well as halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Is Viton suitable for hot water?

FKM Viton® rubber is attacked by amines, strong alkalis and many Freon’s. It also has limited resistance to steam, hot water, methanol, ketones, low molecular weight esters and nitro containing compounds like Skydrol, synthetic hydraulic fluids, certain esters and ethers.

Can Viton withstand acid?

Viton is characterized by its: Resistance to degradation by a greater variety of fluids and chemicals than any nonfluorinated elastomer. Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most mineral acids.

Is fluoroelastomer the same as Viton?

Fluoro-Elastomer is usually referred to as FKM FPM or as VITON™ after the popular brand which produces it. You may see this rubber listed in different places with these different names, but they are all one and the same.

What is Viton and what are its properties?

Known for its resistance to oils and chemicals, this remarkable material retains its good mechanical and chemical resistance properties at extremely high temperatures better than any other known elastomer. Viton is also a standout material in its resistance to weather-related aging and ozone.

What are the characteristics of Viton rubber?

Made of 100% pure Viton, a high-performance synthetic rubber Excellent temperature resistance: -25°F (Type B) / -7°F (Type A) to 400°F continuously; 600°F periodically Offers the widest range of fluid and chemical resistance of any commercial rubber Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most mineral acids

Why choose Viton thermoplastics for high-temperature applications?

Engineers looking for exceptional resistance to petroleum-based fuels, oils, lubricants, and mineral acids at elevated temperatures will often turn to Viton because most other thermoplastics cannot meet the necessary resistance levels.
