Viton rubber (fluoroelastomer)

Viton, FKM, FPM rubber is DuPont's brand of fluoroelastomer, Viton is considered the best fluoroelastomer available today. On the bassis of fluoroelastomer, a rubber compound is made, from which the part is then made. In accordance with various standardization systems, the phrase "fluoroelastomer" is denoted by various abbreviations, but the meaning of this and the material itself do not change.
