Fluoroelastomer Specialists
Automakers are reducing the size of powertrains, engines, and engine compartments to cut fuel consumption, in addition to using advanced air management systems to improve fuel efficiency and to adopting new types of materials to meet the needs of electric vehicle components. These changes bring elevated temperatures and exposure to corrosive fluids and fumes, shortening the life and, in some cases, even destroying elastomer parts.
Hoses, seals, gaskets, high-voltage cables and O-rings made with Viton™ fluoroelastomers stay flexible and elastic in higher temperatures significantly longer than products made from other rubbers. When exposed to synthetic lubricants and harsh chemicals, including fuel and powertrain fluids, parts made with Viton™ fluoroelastomers maintain their properties and outperform products that are made with other fluoroelastomer materials (also called FKM).
That’s why automotive engineers specify the use of Viton™ fluoroelastomers in:
