ELASTOMERS & REPAIR KITS
VITON®
is an elastomer with good corrosion resistance to a
wide variety of chemicals. Temperature range -40°F
to 350°F (-40C to 177C).
PTFE (POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE)
is a thermoplastic polymer that is inert to most
chemicals. Similar in chemical resistance to Teflon
®
.
Temperature range 40°F to 220°F (4C to 104C).
Most of the above elastomers are available in FDA
approved formulations.
BUNA-N (NITRILE)
is a general purpose elastomer used with water and
many oils. Temperature range 10°F to 180°F (-12C to
82C).
GEOLAST®
is an injection molded thermoplastic material with
characteristics similar to Nitrile. Has excellent
abrasion resistance. Temperature range 10°F to 180°F
(-12C to 82C).
EPDM
is a general purpose elastomer with good resistance
to many acids and bases. Temperature range -40°F
to 280°F (-40C to 138C).
SANTOPRENE®
is an injection molded material with characteristics
similar to EPDM. Has excellent abrasion resistance.
Temperature range -40°F to 225°F (-40C to 107C).
FKM
is an elastomer with good corrosion resistance to
a wide variety of chemicals. Similar in chemical
resistance to Viton
®
. Temperature range -40°F
to 350°F (-40C to 177C).

Warning: The TX marking refers to the maximum surface temperature depending not on the equipment itself, but mainly
on operating conditions. In this case, the maximum surface temperature depends upon the temperature of the process
fluids.
