Fluoroelastomer Specialists
As explained by Viton™ in their article “High Performance Starts with the Smallest Components”, modern vehicle design trends—like smaller engines, compact powertrains, and more efficient electric systems—are creating harsher environments for elastomer parts. This has led to increased demand for durable, heat- and chemical-resistant materials like Viton™ fluoroelastomers.
Automotive engineers are now designing vehicles with tighter compartments, longer service intervals, and more high-performance materials. These changes introduce extreme heat and chemical exposure that can shorten the lifespan of conventional rubber components. Viton™ fluoroelastomers outperform standard elastomers and even other fluoroelastomers (FKMs) in these conditions—maintaining elasticity and flexibility in high heat, and resisting degradation from synthetic oils, fuels, and exhaust fumes.
