One of our non-metallic materials we work with is Viton. This synthetic rubber is incredibly resistant to a variety of abuses like acids and certain hydrocarbons. Viton is also reliable up to temperatures of 450 degrees Fahrenheit; however the material can leak fluids at high temperatures due to decomposition.

(Fluorocarbon….Fluorinated Hydrocarbon) General Temperature Range +10/+450 F

Generally resistant to:
All aromatic, aliphatic, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Also many acids, animal and vegetable oils.

Generally affected or attacked by:
Ketones, esters, and nitro containing compounds.

This synthetic rubber is relatively popular for the production of O-rings and molded parts. It can also be used in linings of hose for automotive when biodiesel is used. This material should not be used in areas where high temperatures exist due to the decomposition and leaking of fluids from specific compounds.

Viton is known for its higher temperature resistance along with the ability to withstand many solvents, acids, fuels, and oils.
