Types of Rubber Molding
Advantages and Limitations of Viton®
 Viton® fluoroelastomer is the most specified fluoroelastomer, well known for its excellent (400°F/200°C) heat resistance. Viton® offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals and has worldwide ISO 9000 and ISO/TS 16949 registration.
Whether your application is automotive, chemical processing or any number of other industrial applications, there is a particular type of Viton® that best meets your specific performance requirements. The general purpose types differ primarily from the specialty types in chemical resistance. In the specialty family, the choice is among four types that are tailored for superior fluid resistance, low-temperature performance or combinations of these properties.
Advantages of Viton:
- Very Good Resistance to Oxygen, Ozone & Sunlight
- Outstanding Resistance to High Heat (Up to 400 F)
- Excellent Resistance to Hydraulic Fluids & Grease
- Excellent Resistance to Oil, Gasoline, Silicone Oil
- Very Good Impermeability to Gases & Vapors
- Good Flame Resistance
Limitations include:
- Very Little Resistance to Oxygenated Solvents
- Very Poor Resistance to Low Temperatures
- Fair to Good Water & Steam Resistance
- Poor Tear, and Cut Growth Resistance
- Fair Adhesion to Fabrics & Metals
- Fair Electrical Properties

Materials & Applications
Standard and Specialty Types of Viton®
Viton® consists of essentially several standard and specialty types of polymers based on their composition and flourine content. The types differ primarily in the end-use performance of parts made from Viton®. Each type differs in its ability to: resist permeation and volume increase, resist attack and property degradation caused by the chemicals and fluids.
- A, AL, GAL-S, GLT-S: General purpose sealing: Automotive, Aerospace fuels & lubricants
- B, BL, GBL-S, GBLT-S: Chemical processing, power, utilities. Seals & Gaskets
- F, GF-S, GFLT-S: Oxygenated automotive fuels, concentrated aqueous inorganic acids, water and steam
- TBR-S: Automotive & Off-Road (High pH requirements)
- ETP-S: Oil Exploration/Production

Q&A |
Question:How much is it going to cost for a mold and parts? Answer: That is difficult to answer because each part is quoted individually and based on a customer furnished blueprint and specifications. No two parts are alike in weight, size, shape, function, complexity of design, material, etc. All parts require either the customer to furnish an existing mold to KDL or to have us manufacture a new mold. We can produce single cavity molds for prototyping or small run production and/or multi-cavity production molds. We will normally quote a wide variety of mold sizes. |
