Viton® Permeation Resistance To Reduce Emissions

Even if high temperatures or aggressive fluids are not involved, Viton® may be specified because it has good resistance to permeation. In automotive, chemical processing, and other industries, Viton® helps minimize fugitive emissions to meet Clean Air Act requirements.
