Compatibility Rating
At 20°C (68°F)
Good
Good resistance - suitable for intermittent contact
At 50°C (122°F)
Poor
Not recommended - significant degradation expected
Why is Viton (FPM) resistant to Aniline?
Viton (FPM) shows good resistance to Aniline due to its fluorinated rubber structure providing exceptional resistance to oils, fuels, and many chemicals.
⚠️ When NOT to use Viton (FPM)
Avoid using Viton Fluoroelastomer with ketones, esters, amines, and hot water/steam. Excellent for fuel and oil applications.
