Dubbed Viton GF and Viton ETP, these new fluoroelastomers have been developed with advanced polymer architecture (APA) technology that provides much better chemical resistance than Viton A, which has been the backbone of the Viton line until now. Laboratory tests have shown that APA provides improved resistance to steam and some cleaning fluids used in food and pharmaceutical processes compared to older diamine- or bisphenol-cured dipolymer fluoroelastomers. The new materials are being used in gaskets, O-rings and custom-molded parts for critical sealing applications.
