Viton® News 1 - Article 9DuPont Dow Elastomers Offers Technical Papers At SAE World Congress And Exposition
The first presentation discusses the challenges facing automotive sealing system engineers brought on by the pending tightening of evaporative emissions regulations. The paper presents data to help the engineer select the best gasket to meet more stringent emission and fuel system requirements. A second paper looks at a new fluoroelastomer, Viton® VTX-8525, and compares it to Viton® GFLT and other fuel system sealing materials. A third paper introduces a new polymer for molded seals, Viton® VTX-8802, that is designed be highly resistant to base attack, and to provide better resistance to hydrocarbon fluids compared to currently available base-resistant elastomers. The pioneer in fluoroelastomers, Viton® has helped establish new standards for high performance automotive seals for more than 40 years. Because Viton® fluoroelastomer is so effective against extremes of heat, chemicals, fuel mixtures and fuel additives, it has become an essential element in meeting strict emissions requirements. DuPont Dow has developed many types of Viton® to meet specific end-use and processing needs. The technical papers are:
