These include Viton GF-600S and Viton Extreme ETP-600S, with laboratory tests having shown that vulcanizates based on these polymers provide new levels of performance in seals and gaskets for pharmaceutical, food and beverage applications where FDA repeat use food contact compliance is needed.
These new DuPont polymers, based on APA technology, provide lower volume swell, which is indicative of maintained hardness and strength, ensuring that gaskets and ‘O’ rings retain sealing qualities while under pressure.
These products are also formulated without the use of metal-based acid receptors such as magnesium oxide and calcium hydroxide, which results in lower levels of extractable metals.
