Is fluorocarbon same as Viton?
Viton® is the brand name for fluorocarbon rubber polymers of the Chemours Company. This type of polymer is used extensively by ERIKS, however we do not claim or promote the use of any specific brands of polymers in our compounds.
Is fluorocarbon FKM Viton?
Viton Fluoroelastomer / fluorocarbon / FKM Viton or Fluorocarbon is a brand of fluoropolymer elastomer and synthetic rubber. It combines high outstanding chemical resistance with great high temperature resistance. This makes fluorocarbon based compounds almost ideal for a universal O Ring material.
What is fluorocarbon elastomer?
Fluorocarbon elastomers are highly fluorinated, carbon backboned polymers used in applications to resist harsh chemical and ozone attack with a thermal stability to 500°F (262°C). Fluorocarbons also offer low compression set and excellent aging characteristics.
Is Viton an 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.
Is Viton conductive?
Electrically conductive; relatively expensive; low resilience, poor low temperature flexibility.
What is GLT Viton?
Viton™ GLT-600S* fluoroelastomer is a 64% fluorine, peroxide-cured, low temperature fluoroelastomer. GLT-600S utilizes the latest technology from Chemours, Advanced Polymer Architecture (APA), which includes a novel peroxide cure site along with an optimized molecular weight distribution. Features.
Is FKM Viton material?
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 material?
As mentioned, Viton is DuPont’s (now Chemours) brand name for fluorocarbon rubber. This is a synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer and is commonly used for O-rings and other molded or extruded parts.
Is fluorocarbon the same as FKM?
FKM is a family of fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer materials defined by the ASTM International standard D1418, while it is called FPM by ISO 1629 (both first ed. 1995 and ed. 2013). It is commonly called fluorine rubber or fluoro-rubber.
What is the difference between fluorocarbon and Viton™ extreme™ ETP?
Also, Fluorocarbon offers improved resistance to steam for higher temperature services. Low temperature bases can improve performance to -40°F. New polymers being offered have improved chemical resistance and low temperature performance. Viton™ Extreme™ ETP offers similar chemical compatibility as FFKM with temperature resistance to +446°F.
What are fluorocarbon elastomers?
Fluorocarbon elastomers are highly fluorinated carbon-based polymers used in applications to resist harsh chemical and ozone attack. Special compounds with improved chemical resistance are also available with new types always being developed.
Why fluorocarbon rubber (FKM)?
>> Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM, Viton®) More recent innovations include the development of FKM materials for use in low temperature applications, where with a glass transition of -40°C, it is possible to use FKMs down to -51°C in service. ERIKS 514322 brings true low temperature capabilities to chemically demanding and high temperature applications.
What are the advantages of fluorocarbon?
Also, Fluorocarbon offers improved resistance to steam for higher temperature services. Low temperature bases can improve performance to -40°F. New polymers being offered have improved chemical resistance and low temperature performance.
