Is Viton rubber flexible?
In contrast with its high-temperature resistance, Viton® does not retain flexibility at low temperatures, so it is not recommended for low-temperature applications.
What type of rubber is Viton?
fluoropolymer elastomer
Viton® is a brand name of DuPont for its synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer, commonly used in O-rings and other moulded or extruded products.
How long do Viton seals last?
Viton is the choice over Buna for high-temperature applications. Viton seals hold indefinitely at temperatures up to 400°F and can last up to 48 hours at temperatures up to 600°F.
Where is Viton rubber used?
Well, Viton™ is frequently used in appliance processing, automotive and chemical industries. We also supply Viton™ products to aerospace companies, oil and gas exploration industries and petroleum refining and transportation businesses.
Why is Viton used?
A Viton™ seal is simply a seal manufactured from Viton™. These seals or gaskets are commonly used to seal leaks, valves, pumps and similar. Viton™ o rings are the most common type of seal, which we provide here at NES in a variety of sizes and profiles.
What is the difference between nitrile and neoprene?
The key difference between neoprene and nitrile rubber is that neoprene is produced by emulsion polymerization of chloroprene (2-chloro-1, 3-butadiene), whereas nitrile rubber is produced by emulsion polymerization of copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile.
Which is better EPDM or neoprene?
Neoprene has superior attributes in comparison to EPDM in applications requiring good resistance to Oils, Chemicals, Hydrocarbons and Solvents. EPDM, on the other hand, has superior attributes in comparison to Neoprene in applications requiring good resistance to UV Light, Ozone and external weathering.
What material is similar to neoprene?
Nitrile and neoprene are rubbers that exhibit similar properties, but with differing characteristics that make them useful for different applications. Both materials are elastic, and will return to their original shape when stretched.
What is Viton rubber made of?
Viton seal material is a synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer. Genuine Viton® is manufactured with 100% pure fluoroelastomers and is certified with the Viton® certificate, granted by DuPont Performance Elastomers.
