Viton rubber compound.

The terms viton fkm and fpm often causes confusion in the rubber compound industry. Viton freeflow extrusion process aids also improve processing increase output and reduce waste. One of the available brands is viton a well known and registered product of the company dupont. Fkm type a o rings are readily available off the shelf in black or brown color.

Viton fluoroelastomer was introduced in 1957 to meet the needs in the aerospace industry for a high performance sealing elastomer. Fkm viton rubber compounds fluorocarbon often referred to as viton rubber offers increased oil solvent and chemical and heat resistance than other common elastomers. While viton can be sometimes distinguished from other types of rubber by its often green or brown colour a more reliable test is its density of over 1800 kg m 3 significantly higher than most types of rubber 1010 1520 kg m 3. Products made with viton fluoroelastomers retain their flexibility shape and seal when exposed to chemicals and high temperatures.
