Fluoroelastomer Specialists
As explained in the article “Key Performance Differences of Viton™ Products” published by Viton™, there are four primary families of Viton™ fluoroelastomers—A, B, F, and ETP—each offering distinct performance benefits depending on the application.
A key factor that distinguishes these Viton™ families is their resistance to various fluids, which directly correlates with the fluorine content in the polymer. As the fluorine level increases, so does the product’s fluid resistance. However, this enhancement in resistance typically comes at the cost of low-temperature flexibility. Understanding this trade-off is essential for engineers and product designers striving to optimize performance for specific environmental demands.
