FKM / VITON Rubber Tube
FKM rubber is a type of high-performance synthetic rubber made from fluoroelastomers, with Viton® being one of the most well-known brand names for FKM. It's prized for its exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and oil, which makes it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Key Features of FKM Rubber Sheet:
- Excellent heat resistance (up to 250°C or 482°F)
- Superb chemical resistance, especially to fuels, oils, acids, and solvents
- Low permeability to gases
- Good weather and ozone resistance
- Strong mechanical properties (especially at elevated temperatures)
Common Applications:
- Tubing in automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing industries
- Environments where other rubber materials (like NBR or EPDM) would degrade
Limitations:
- Higher cost compared to other rubber types
- Poor low-temperature flexibility (typically becomes brittle below -20°C)
If you’re using or specifying material for harsh environments (like fuel or chemical exposure), FKM is often a go-to option.
Our FKM / Viton Rubber tube is of very good quality. Hard wearing and highly resistant, fluoroelastomer FKM / Viton tubing is ideal for using with Petrol and other chemicals.
We also supply FKM / Viton Rubber Gaskets, FKM / Viton Rubber O Rings, FKM / Viton Rubber Cord, FKM / Viton Rubber Sheet and FKM / Viton Sections.
