What is Viton?
Viton is a high-grade fluoroelastomer originally developed by DuPont in the 1950s as a transportation product. Viton quickly became popular for its resistance to fuels, high temperatures, and many chemicals. Professionals differentiate grades of Viton by fluorine content, with specifications like MIL-R-83248 ensuring consistent performance.
