Viton rubber gaskets are resistant to alkalis, animal and vegetable oils, chlorinated hydrocarbons, fuels and concentrated acids. They also have excellent resistance to high temperatures. However, Viton® rubber gaskets are not suitable for ketones such as acetone and organic acids.

This gasket material has outstanding thermal stability, and is highly resistant to hydrocarbons, additives, oil and oils. The Viton / FKM also offers excellent weathering, oxidation and ozone resistance but should not be used with organic acids or ketones such as acetone.

Due to their performance in challenging sealing applications, FKM rubber gaskets are cut from a synthetic fluoroelastomer and are primarily used in the automotive, aerospace, and petrochemical industries.

Viton gaskets also known as FKM gaskets, are produced from a high quality rubber material made from Viton. Viton rubber gaskets are extremely durable and are well suited to put up with the rigors of caustic environments and fluid exchange devices. Viton rubber gaskets extends the thermal resistance of most mid-performance elastomers.
