Viton® gaskets
Viton® Gasket Materal also known as FKM is the perfect solution for the chemical industry. Viton® gasket sheet material is easy to cut gaskets from, flat seals, door seals and any other industrial applications. Viton® is a high tech. elastomer designed for extreme heat up to -10°C to +250°C, oil and chemical resistance.
Viton® gaskets resist aliphalactic aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, concentrated acids, alkalis, animal and vegetable oils. Viton® gaskets are good for applications involving oils, fuels, and mineral acids, and these gaskets of FKM also boast excellent resistances to oxidation, ozone, UV exposure, weather, fungus, and mold.
While also boasting some chemical resistances, the other elastomers are much less universally resistant than its Viton® gasket counterpart suffering degradation from weather and ozone exposure.
Standard Viton® gaskets are in stock or custom manufactured to your specifications. We can cut the Viton® gaskets for you as per your specific dimensions and design.

What are the key properties of Viton® gaskets that make them suitable for industrial applications?
Viton® gaskets, also known as FKM gaskets, possess several key properties that make them highly suitable for industrial applications. They are known for their excellent resistance to high temperatures, functioning effectively in environments ranging from -10°C to +250°C. Additionally, Viton® gaskets exhibit remarkable resilience against chemicals, oils, and fuels, which is essential for applications in the chemical industry. The material's durability also contributes to longer service life and reduced maintenance costs.
How do I choose the right type of Viton® gasket for my application?
Choosing the right type of Viton® gasket depends on specific factors such as the operating temperature, chemical exposure, and the physical dimensions required for the application. For instance, if you require gaskets with enhanced structural integrity, you might consider Reinforced FKM / Viton gaskets. If your application involves food processing, you should opt for White FDA Approved FKM / Viton gaskets, which are designed to meet stringent food safety standards.
Can Viton® gaskets be customized for specific applications?
Yes, Viton® gaskets can be customized to meet specific application requirements. Customization options include varying thickness, size, and shapes to fit unique machinery or equipment. Additionally, gaskets can be produced from different grades of Viton® to ensure optimal performance under particular conditions. You can easily cut your own gaskets from Viton® gasket sheet material for tailored solutions.
