Viton Rubber Tubes

Viton® Fluoroelastomer Rubber Tubing is known for its resistance to oils and chemicals; this remarkable material retains its good mechanical and chemical resistance properties at extremely high temperatures better than any other known elastomer. Viton is also a standout material in its resistance to weather-related aging and ozone.

Viton’s fluid resistance far exceeds that of most other synthetic rubbers. It is resistant to hydro-carbons such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, and xylene — fluids that normally act as solvents on rubber, disintegrating the material; leading to tubing failure. Engineers looking for exceptional resistance to petroleum-based fuels, oils, lubricants, and mineral acids at elevated temperatures will often turn to Viton because most other thermoplastics cannot meet the necessary resistance levels.
