ASTM D1418: FKM (FPM) Temperature range: -26 to 204 °C Durometer: 75 Resistance to compression set: 1 Color: Black The Viton® A is a fluoroelastomer dipolymer comprised of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluropropylene. Provides good chemcial resistance to petroleum products and solvents.Avoid polar solvents, amines, anhydrous ammonia, hydrazine and hot acids. Refer to the Elastomer Chemical Compatibility Chart for a more detailed list of chemical interactions. ® Chemraz 514 Registered Trademark of Green, Tweed & Co. ASTM D1418: FFKM (FEPM) Temperature range: -30 to 220 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: White The Chemraz® 514 A is a white perfluoroelastomer with the broadest chemical resistance of any elestomeric material. Avoid acids, aldehydes, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Refer to the Elastomer Chemical Compatibility Chart for a more detailed list of chemical interactions. ® Kalraz 4079 Registered Trademark of E.I. Dupont & Co. ASTM D395B: FFKM (FFPM) Temperature range: -15 to 316°C Durometer: 75 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: Black A low compression set compound for general-purpose use in O-rings, diaphragms, seals, and other parts used in the process and aircraft industries. It is a carbon black-filled compound with excellent chemical resistance, good mechanical properties, and outstanding hot air aging properties. It exhibits low swell in organic an inorganic acids and aldehydes and has good response to temperature cycling effects. A maximum operating temperature of 316ºC (600ºF) is recommended, with short excursions to higher temperatures possible. This compound is not recommended for use in hot water/steam applications or in contact with certain hot aliphatic amines, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Refer to the Elastomer Chemical Compatibility Chart for a more detailed list of chemical interactions. CAPFE (Teflon FEP Encapsulated Silcone) Temperature range: -60 to 204 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 3 Color: Red CAPFE O-rings have a clear Teflon FEP outer covering with a red silicone inner core. CAPFE o-rings offer excellent chemical compatibility and compression set. 4 Information: 1-800-223-4524 n www.aceglass.com O-Ring Chemical Compatibility FETFE FKM + PTFE as an internal lubricant Temperature range: -18 to 204 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: Black or White An ACE Glass exclusive fluroelastomer compound with TFE additives. It has good compression set along with good termperature and chemical compatibility. Buna-N ASTM D1418 XNBR Temperature range: -40 to 120 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: Black or Brown Also know as nitrile rubber and is a synthetic blend of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Generally resists fuels and oils. Avoid highly polar solvents such as acetone, MEK, etc.. and direct exposure to ozone and sunlight. EPDM ASTM D1418 EPDM Temperature range: -55 to 150 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: Black or Brown Excellent resistance to water, steam, and polar solvents, as well as ozone and sunlight. Also resistant to alcohols, glycol and phospahte ester hydraulic fluid. Avoid non-polar solvents, petroleum oil, and aromatic fuels. Silicone ASTM D1418 VMQ Temperature range: -115 to 200 °C Durometer: 70 Resistance to compression set: 2 Color: Red Excellent material for extreme temperatures. Very good with ozone and UV radiation. Avoid chlorinated solvents, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and petroleum oils. Silicone is generally permeable to gases.
