Viton is the most dependable type of seal that is currently used on hydraulic filters. The characteristics that make Viton such an excellent choice are its resistance to extreme temperatures, its low compression set and its compatibility with a very broad range of fluids. In fact, Viton o-rings will maintain their sealing force even after long periods of compression and exposure to severe environments, and this is what will help you reduce costs through fewer periods of unscheduled downtime.
Viton o-rings are recommended for:- Petroleum oils
- Di-ester base lubricants (MIL-L-7808, MIL-L-6085)
- Silicate ester base lubricants (MLO 8200, MLO 8515, OS-45)
- Silicone fluids and greases
- Halogenated hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene)
- Selected phosphate ester fluids
- Acids
- Operating temperature -20°f to 250°f
