Key Features of Viton O-Rings
Viton O rings are engineered for tough conditions and offer excellent resistance to formic and acetic acids, vegetable oil, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. These O-rings are designed to maintain elasticity under high temperature stress and deliver consistent sealing performance across a range of temperature extremes. Thanks to their low compression set and low gas permeability, they’re ideal for fuel systems and performance applications. Their compatibility with many organic solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons ensures a long service life even in aggressive chemical environments. Choose Viton O-rings when durability, reliability, and chemical resistance are critical to your build.
Common Applications of Viton O-Rings
You’ll find Viton O rings used across a variety of performance and industrial systems due to their resistance to heat and chemicals. They’re commonly installed in fuel lines, oil systems, and high-temp coolant applications. Their low gas permeability makes them ideal for fuel injectors and carburetors, while their excellent resistance to organic solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons makes them reliable in chemical processing equipment. They’re also a top choice in situations involving formic and acetic acids, aromatic hydrocarbons, and vegetable oil. Whether you’re sealing a cross section in a turbo system or keeping fluids in check on the track, Viton O-rings perform.
Advantages of Choosing Viton O-Rings
Selecting Viton O rings provides several key advantages for demanding applications. They perform reliably in temperature extremes, maintaining integrity even at high temperatures where traditional rubber fails. Their low compression set ensures a long-lasting seal, reducing maintenance. With excellent resistance to many organic solvents, acetic acids, and aromatic hydrocarbons, they remain stable even when exposed to aggressive fluids. In performance engines, they help prevent leaks and withstand harsh conditions, such as exposure to fuel, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and vegetable oil. For any system requiring chemical durability and long-term reliability, Viton is the smart O-ring material choice.
Frequently Asked Question
What is Viton o-ring?
A Viton O-ring is a high-performance sealing ring made from fluoroelastomer. It offers excellent resistance to temperature extremes, organic solvents, and aromatic hydrocarbons, making it ideal for use in performance automotive, fuel, and industrial systems.
What is Viton not compatible with?
While Viton O rings offer broad chemical resistance, they are not compatible with certain ketones, low molecular weight esters, or formic and acetic acids at extreme concentrations. Always check compatibility when working with highly aggressive fluids.
Are Viton O-rings gasoline resistant?
Yes, Viton O rings are resistant to gasoline and other fuels. Their low gas permeability and excellent resistance to organic solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons make them ideal for fuel system sealing in high-performance applications.
