Fluoroelastomer extrusions for hostile environments.


Hoses, seals and o-rings, custom extruded from high-performance fluoroelastomers, are designed for use in hostile service conditions. The extruded products are said to withstand extreme temperatures of -40[degrees]F to +400[degrees]F, resist attack by over 750 corrosive chemicals and liquids (including oil, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, hydrocarbon solvents and sulfuric acid sulfuric acid, chemical compound, H2SO4, colorless, odorless, extremely corrosive, oily liquid. It is sometimes called oil of vitriol. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid

Ideal applications are said to include automotive and aerospace engines, chemical processing and other industrial applications.
