Notes

VITUBE's main attributes include exceptional chemical resistanceat elevated temperatures. It has withstood continuous service temperaturesof 600°F for 48 hours and 500°F for 1000 hours while maintainingits mechanical properties. Care should be taken, however, at these elevatedtemperatures. Tests should be performed to determine application suitability.

VITUBE possesses the high resiliency of an elastomer aswell as the good mechanical properties of conventional synthetic rubbers.The heat and chemical resistance factors, however, usually go far beyondthe range of other rubbers. 

The 60A durometer compound is specially formulated foruse in peristaltic pumps. All VITUBE formulations are produced with 100%DuPont Dow Viton® fluoroelastomers and are matte black in color. VITUBEcontains no regrind material nor blends of other elastomers.

If accidental burning of VITUBE occurs, extreme cautionshould be taken due to Hydrogen Fluoride and other decomposition products.Avoid inhalation of vapors liberated at service temperatures above 400°F.

If your application calls for harder VITUBE, 90A durometeris available - call for details.
