Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible lubricants that degrade Viton.Utilize lubricants specifically rated for Viton (FKM) compatibility, such as silicone-based or fluorinated greases.
Overstretching or twisting the O-ring during installation.Gently roll or slide the O-ring into the groove, ensuring it remains in its natural circular shape to prevent premature failure.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Systems
  • Chemical Processing
  • Automotive Fuel Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with hot water, steam, or certain ketones.
  • Ensure operating temperature and chemical exposure remain within Viton's specified limits.
