- A high performance synthetic rubber
- Excellent temperature resistance: -40°F to 400°F continuously: 600°F   periodically
- Offers one of the widest ranges of fluid and chemical resistance of any   commer­cial rubber
- Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most mineral acids
- Also resistant to many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as carbon   tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, and xylene
- Excellent resistance to environmental exposure such as sunlight and ozone
- Available in 60 and 75 Shore A durometers

V-Flex's main attributes include exceptional chemical resistance at elevated tempera­tures. It has withstood continuous service temperatures of 600°F for 48 hours and 500°F for 1000 hours while maintaining its mechani­cal properties. Care should be taken, however, at these elevated temperatures. Tests should be performed to determine suitability.

V-Flex possesses the high resiliency of an elastomer as well as the good mechanical properties of conventional synthetic rubbers. The heat and chemical resistance factors, however, usually go far beyond the range of other rubbers.

The 60A durometer compound is specially formulated for use in peristaltic pumps. All V-Flex formulations are produced with 100% DuPont Dow Viton fluoroelastomers and are matte black in color. V-Flex contains no regrind material or blends of other elastomers.

If accidental burning of V-Flex occurs, extreme caution should be taken due to Hydrogen Fluoride and other decomposition products. Avoid inhalation of vapors liberated at service temperatures above 400F.
