VITON™ ETP (CHEMOURS™)

DESCRIPTION

Viton™ ETP, or Viton™ Extreme™, is resistant to the same fluids as high fluorine FKMs such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, hydraulic fluids, motor oils, fuels, etc., but is also resistant to strong bases and polar fluids such as potassium hydroxide, ketones, MTBE and complex solvent mixtures. In fact, Viton™ ETP has the broadest fluid resistance of any FKM polymer on the market (technically Viton™ ETP is an FEPM), making it ideal for severe service environments. Although costly, it can frequently be substituted for far more expensive perfluoroelastomers, at a fraction of the cost.
