Viton rubber sheets

FKM/Viton rubber sheets, also known as fluororubber sheet, is a high-performance elastomeric material primarily composed of fluorocarbon-based polymers. FKM rubber sheets are fabricated to exacting standards to cater to applications demanding superior oil resistance, flame retardancy, high-temperature stability, and excellent resistance to corrosive environments. These sheets are crucial in producing seals, gaskets, O-rings, diaphragms, and linings for cylinders that operate in severe settings, including the aerospace and aviation sectors where durability and reliability are paramount.

Key Features

– Excellent Oil Resistance: FKM/Viton exhibits outstanding resistance to a wide range of oils, fuels, and lubricants, maintaining its integrity even when exposed to these substances over extended periods.

– Flame Retardant: The material possesses inherent flame-resistant properties, making it suitable for applications where fire safety is a critical concern.

– High Temperature Tolerance: With an operational temperature range spanning from -40°C up to 300°C, FKM rubber sheets maintain their physical properties even under extreme thermal conditions.

– Superior Chemical Resistance: It resists attack from a broad spectrum of chemicals, acids, and alkalis, ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of seals and components in corrosive environments.

– Excellent Aging Resistance: The material demonstrates remarkable resistance to weathering and aging, ensuring long service life and sustained performance over time.

Applications

FKM rubber sheets find extensive use in various industries:

– Automotive & Aerospace: Seals and gaskets in engines and fuel systems due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and resist aggressive fluids.

– Chemical Processing: Equipment seals and linings exposed to corrosive chemicals.

– Oil & Gas: High-pressure, high-temperature sealing applications where conventional rubbers would rapidly deteriorate.

– Semiconductor Manufacturing: In cleanroom environments requiring parts with low outgassing and high purity.

– Military & Defense: Applications requiring both high-performance and flame-retardant properties.

The unique combination of properties offered by Viton rubber sheets makes them the material of choice for applications where failure is not an option, ensuring safety, efficiency, and longevity in some of the world’s most challenging operating environments.
