conditions approaching absolute zero. Viton has excellent
resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most mineral
acids. It has extremely low permeability to a broad range
of substances. It is resistant to aliphatic, aromatic
hydrocarbons. It is extremely resistant to compression set,
even at high temperatures. It has exceptional good
resistance to atmospheric oxidation, sun, weather, fungus,
and mold. It has good electrical properties in low voltage,
low frequency applications and low burning characteristics3
It is noted for its outstanding performance in very hot and
extremely corrosive environments
