Overview
Viton™ B-50 fluoroelastomer is a B-type gum polymer composed of hexafluoropropylene (HFP), vinylidene fluoride (VF2), and tetrafluoroethylene (TFP) with 68.5% fluorine content.
Viton™ B-50 provides a higher viscosity level than other B-type gum polymers and is best suited for compression molding applications. Viton™ B-50 also resists fluids and retains flexibility better under dry heat than A-type polymers.

Features & Benefits
- Excellent resistance to ozone, oxidation, abrasion, and weathering
- Improved heat resistance, oil and chemical resistance, and mechanical properties (tear strength, elongation, and tensile strength)
- Higher reliability due to good dielectric strength
- Better processability for improved yield and less reject
- Enhanced flexibility and elasticity compared to polyester, polyethylene, and polyurethane
Problems Solved
Limited resistance of fluoroelastomers for use in high-voltage power applications Low flexibility or elasticity of traditional fluoroelastomeric gums
Applications
High-voltage power cables for electrified vehicles (EVs) Solution coatings of fabrics, tanks, and chemical containers Blending with other gum polymers for viscosity modification Compression molded and extruded parts Wire insulation and jacketing Valve cover and fuel sender seals Gaskets, O-rings, and rubber parts Coated fabrics and textiles
