Viton Gaskets & Sheet Material
Renowned worldwide for its superior resistance to oils and fuels, chemicals, and high temperatures, Viton® has set the standard for sealing excellence. Fluoropolymer elastomers like Viton® and FKM maintain their shape, mechanical properties and integrity under extreme conditions. For decades, Blaylock Gasket & Packing has been “Your Sealing Source” for Viton® and FKM products.
What is Viton?
Viton® is a high-grade fluoroelastomer originally developed by DuPont in the 1950s as a transportation product. This trademarked brand name is now held by Chemours. Viton® was quickly renowned for its resistance to fuels, high temperatures, and many chemicals. The grade of Viton® is often differentiated by its fluorine content level.
