Viton®, Polyurethane, and Other Materials
Viton®
Viton®, the first commercially available fluoroelastomer, was developed in the 1950s. It is a primary material used in today's chemical and fuel processing industry because of its strength in corrosive and high-temperature environments.
Viton®:
- offers strong resistance to extreme heat (400°F);
- holds up well against various fuels and highly-corrosive solvents;
- retains its flexibility in low temperatures;
- offers resistance to amines, acids, ozone aging, and hydrocarbon fluids;
- is recommended for handling most chlorinated, aliphatic, and aromatic hydrocarbons and benzene, ethanol, hexane, and toluene;
- offers strong resistance to PCBs;
- is the first fluoroelastomer to achieve worldwide ISO 9000 registration;
- is black in color.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is an extremely sturdy material and is often combined with Viton® in the production of certain drybox gloves. These dual-dipped gloves offer the highest levels of chemical-resistance and end-user protection from exposure due to rips and tears.
Polyurethane:
- offers strong resistance to ozone, UV, and irradiation and also strong acids and ketonic solvents.
- is ideally suited for situations where a tensile strength and resistance to perforations, tears, and abrasion damage are required;
- is blue in color.
