Seals Eastern was one of the earliest companies to develop applications using
Viton ® polymers by DuPont Elastomers. Seals Eastern
precision molds all grades of Genuine Viton
® polymers, Viton B, Viton AHV, Viton Extreme ( ETP ), and Viton
Extreme ( TBR ) into o-rings, gaskets, and other mission critical seals. Generally
speaking, products molded using Genuine Viton elastomers provide
exceptional resistance to heat, oils, and chemicals.

Most Viton ® elastomers are categorized under the ASTM D1418 designation
of FKM. This class of elastomer is further categorized by types.
-
Type-1 FKM: is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene (HFP) and vinylidene
fluoride (VDF or VF2). A Type-1 Viton is generally 66% fluorine by content.
-
Type-2 FKM: is a terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), vinylidene
fluoride (VDF), and hexafluoropropylene (HFP). A Type-2 Viton is generally
68% fluorine by content.
On account of these molecular compositions, Viton ® based elastomer
formulations deliver a broad range of chemical resistance, continuous
service temperatures of 350F, and low temperature capabilities down to
10F.
Viton-ETP ®, also referred to as Extreme, is an FEPM class
material and additionally offers excellent
base resistance since there is no vinylidene fluoride in the composition.
Do not be fooled by cheap Viton ® o-rings that often contain reground
material, cheap fluorocarbon copolymers. Cheap imports will deliver inferior performance. Seals
Eastern guarantees its Genuine Viton ® seals are made using 100%
virgin Viton ® polymers and are post-cured in accordance with DuPont recommendation.
