Fluoroelastomer — the industry standard for high-heat, oil, fuel and chemical resistance in a true elastomer.
The default premium sealing elastomer: excellent heat, oil, fuel, chemical and ozone resistance with low compression set.
FKM (Viton is a Chemours trade name) offers excellent resistance to heat, petroleum oils and fuels, many chemicals and ozone, with low compression set — the go-to for demanding automotive, oil-and-gas and process service. Standard grades stiffen at low temperature; specialty low-temp and base-resistant grades address specific gaps.
Typical published ranges — final properties depend on the specific ARC compound, cure system and fillers. Request a compound-specific data sheet for design values.
Downhole and wellhead seals, rotary shaft seals, valve and packer elements.
Fuel-injection O-rings, crankshaft/camshaft seals, turbo seals.
Engine and hydraulic seals in high-heat zones.
Pump and valve seals for hydrocarbons and aggressive fluids.
