Materials:
Viton® and Other
Viton®
Viton®, the first commercially available fluoroelastomer,
was developed in the 1950s. It is a primary material used in today's
chemical and fuel processing industry because of its strength
in corrosive and high-temperature environments.
Viton®:
- offers strong resistance to extreme heat (400°F);
- holds up well against various fuels and highly-corrosive solvents;
- retains its flexibility in low temperatures;
- offers resistance to amines, acids, ozone aging, and hydrocarbon
fluids;
- is recommended for handling most chlorinated, aliphatic, and
aromatic hydrocarbons and benzene, ethanol, hexane, and toluene;
- offers strong resistance to PCBs;
- is the first fluoroelastomer to achieve worldwide ISO 9000 registration;
- is black in color.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is an extremely sturdy material and is often combined
with VitonŽ in the production of certain drybox gloves. These
dual-dipped gloves offer the highest levels of chemical-resistance
and end-user protection from exposure due to rips and tears.
Polyurethane:
- offers strong resistance to ozone, UV, and irradiation and also
strong acids and ketonic solvents.
- is ideally suited for situations where a tensile strength and
resistance to perforations, tears, and abrasion damage are required;
- is blue in color.
