Viton™ Fluoroelastomer Hoses (FKM)

When exposed to low temperatures, fluorocarbon elastomers will become quite hard upto minus temperatures but can be serviceable at low temperatures, although FKM compounds don't seem to be recommended for applications requiring good vasoconstrictor flexibility. In addition to plain FKM materials, variety of special materials are available with differing monomer compositions and fluorine content upto 60% to 70% for improved vasoconstrictive, warmth, or chemical resistance performance . In these applications, hoses and tubing are wont to contain and convey various fluids, fuels, and gases, often in very harsh environments. they will be employed in Automobile engines to face up to high temperatures, Chemical processing to contain hazardous chemicals,Hospital environments to sterilely deliver medicine to patients intravenously. Oil and gas production to move fluids in extreme conditions. With such widely varied uses, the materials wont to create these hoses and tubing require vastly different properties to accommodate each application.

Viton™ fluoroelastomers are available a spread of grades, including ones specifically utilized in industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications. When using Viton™ fluoroelastomers, designers can specify the desired properties for the ultimate product. These properties include, Durability, Retention of flexibility, Corrosive chemical resistance, Resistance to evaporative permeation, warm temperature resistance.
