Viton® (FKM) O-Rings: Properties, Grades, and Industrial Applications

Summary What Are Viton® O-Rings? Viton® (FKM) o-rings are fluoropolymer elastomer seals engineered for extreme service conditions where standard rubber compounds fail. Developed in the late 1950s by DuPont, Viton® is a registered brand name for FKM — fluoroelastomer — a synthetic rubber defined by its high fluorine content. That fluorine content is the source […]

PFAS 化学品及其对弹性体的影响

Summary Overview PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) are synthetic chemicals widely used in various industrial and consumer products across multiple sectors. However, concerns about their effects on human health and the environment have sparked debates and regulatory actions worldwide. This article explores the uses of PFAS chemicals, regulatory efforts in the United States, Europe, and Canada, […]

变形、应力松弛和反弹

Summary Introduction Elastomer seals are critical components in many industrial applications, providing the sealing force needed to prevent leaks and maintain pressure between mating surfaces. These seals must perform reliably under a range of operating conditions, including mechanical compression, temperature variation, and chemical exposure. Seal performance depends heavily on how elastomer materials respond to deformation […]

弹性体完整概述

Summary Overview Elastomers are a class of polymers characterized by their unique properties of elasticity and flexibility. These materials have the remarkable ability to deform under pressure and return to their original shape when released. Elastomers exhibit resilience in extreme environments, maintaining their sealing properties and mechanical integrity even in the face of high temperatures, […]
