Description
Other Common Variations
- FKM can also be submitted for approval to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for use in applications as prescribed in UL157.
- FKM has excellent resistance to high temperature, oil, solvent, flame, chemical and weather, and it is usually applied in automotive, chemical proc..essing, aerospace and many industrials.
- Viton”‘ GLT is broadly used in thermal range of -400C to +2500C and it has outstanding resistance to aggressive HTS-type oils which are commonly used in aerospace industry.
- Viton TM ETP is usually applied in chemical industrial,
- In some fuels adding several methanol, Viton T* F and B-type are more usable than A-type especially F-type. If it requires lower temperature, GFLT and GBLT will be available .
- AFLAC (TFE/propylene polymer) is better base and steam resistant than Other general Vitons. It can be use in amine, amide and some bases.
Viton TM is a registered trademark Of Chemours Fluoroelastomer.
AFLAS€ is a registered trademark of AGC Chemicals.
