Selecting Viton™ Fluoroelastomers |
With the differences in physical property characteristics, it's essential to understand the desired benefit needed for your application. If resistance to compression set is vital in a seal material application, one of the A-types of Viton™ would be the better starting point for your formulation requirements. For example, if chemical resistance from hydraulic fluids is the end industrial application, starting with the F-types of Viton™ would be the family to sample.
