Overview
Viton™ B Sheet is a B-type fluoroelastomer gum composed of hexafluoropropylene (HFP), vinylidene fluoride (VF2), and tetrafluoroethylene (TFP). This low-viscosity fluoroelastomer gum demonstrates improved processability and rheology compared to other B-type terpolymers.
Viton™ B Sheet has 68.5% fluorine content and is best suited for extrusion applications when a low viscosity is required. Viton™ B Sheet also offers lower MeOH permeability than Viton™ A-type fluoropolymers.
