Fluoroelastomer Specialists
As detailed by Viton™ in their article, “Viton™ Extreme™ ETP-600S Fluoroelastomer,” the unique composition of this fluoroelastomer—a copolymer of ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), and perfluoromethylvinyl ether (PMVE)—offers superior resilience in harsh environments. Known for its robust resistance to acids and hydrocarbons, Viton™ Extreme™ ETP-600S outperforms conventional fluoroelastomers in applications involving challenging chemicals.
Viton™ Extreme™ ETP-600S provides unmatched durability, resisting low molecular weight esters, ketones, aldehydes, and high-pH fluids that can compromise elastomeric materials. This makes it an ideal choice for products exposed to high alkalinity, such as seals, gaskets, and hoses, as it prevents swelling and loss of elasticity in caustic environments.
Key Benefits of Viton™ Extreme™ ETP-600S:
- Broad Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, and aldehydes.
- Durability in Harsh Conditions: Inherently resists high pH fluids, with minimal volume change in caustic solutions and amines.
- Thermal and Low-Temperature Flexibility: Ensures reliable performance across various operating temperatures.
- Enhanced Manufacturing Efficiency: Improved mold flow, faster curing rates, and ease of mold release.
Due to its unique chemical resistance and physical properties, Viton™ Extreme™ ETP-600S is highly suitable for critical applications like automotive oil seals, turbocharger hoses, and components in aircraft engines and fuel systems, as well as downhole hydraulic systems in the oil industry.
