Fluoroelastomer
Posted on 06/02/2019 Category:
Often known as Viton® it is thought of as a super elastomer, however whilst it has excellent temperature and chemical resistance, it is relatively weak, does not perform well at low temperatures and is attacked by steam. Nonetheless, this expensive family of polymers is very useful and a variety of alternative versions exist with a combination of properties, although some of the more extreme versions are quite difficult to process.
