ELASTOMERS & REPAIR KITS
VITON®
is an elastomer with good corrosion resistance to a
wide variety of chemicals. Temperature range -40°F
to 350°F (-40C to 177C).
PTFE (POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE)
is a thermoplastic polymer that is inert to most
chemicals. Similar in chemical resistance to Teflon
®
.
Temperature range 40°F to 220°F (4C to 104C).
Most of the above elastomers are available in FDA
approved formulations.
