Which is better Viton or NBR?
Environmental Properties: Viton® O-rings and seals have a wide range of chemical resistance (involving mineral acids, fuels, and oils) and this material is also highly resistant to oxidation, UV exposure, fungus, weather, ozone, and mould. This makes Viton® far superior to Nitrile in these regards.
Which is better Viton or EPDM?
Temperature – Viton® temperature resistance ranges from -20°C to 210°C, while EPDM temperature resistance ranges from -45°C to 145° This means that both are excellent for extreme temperatures, but EPDM has a slight edge in colder temperatures, while Viton® is better for heat resistance at higher temperatures.
What is Oring made of?
Some of them are made of silicone rubber, whereas others are made of Aflas or polyurethane. These are just a few materials used in the construction of O-rings. Others include polytetrafluoroethylene, Buna, Viton and more.
Is PTFE the same as Viton?
Viton vs Teflon (PTFE) – Viton offers a greater temperature resistance but falls short of Teflons(PTFE) chemical resistance. Also, Teflon is slightly less thermally resistant but offers much more in the way of non-adhesive properties.
