WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING A VITON ENCAPSULATED O-RING RATHER THAN A SILICONE ENCAPSULATED O-RING?
If the application has a wide temperature range in diverse chemical service, a Viton core is likely the better choice. Due to the effects of chemical permeation, the core material may be compromised in some cases. Viton has a greater range of chemical compatibility than silicone core and therefore may extend seal life. *See Gas Permeability and Chem AssistantTM.
