Viton O-Rings (FKM Fluoroelastomer)

Category: Custom O-Rings & Rubber Seals

Viton is DuPont's brand name for FKM fluoroelastomer, used interchangeably with "FKM" on drawings and RFQs. Hongjie molds custom FKM/Viton O-rings by grade, durometer, and dimension to your drawing, then runs a functional prototype before quoting production.

FKM Grades & Compound Options

SpecOptions
Durometer70, 75, 90 Shore A
Cure/TypeBisphenol-cured (Type A) or peroxide-cured (Type B); GF/GFLT/GLT low-temperature grades on request
ColorBlack standard; brown and other colors by compound
Upgrade pathFFKM for extreme temperature or chemical exposure — confirm grade, media, and documentation before quotation

Temperature & Chemical Resistance

Standard FKM/Viton grades typically operate from about –20°C to +230°C. GFLT and GLT grades extend low-temperature performance, while FFKM is used for higher temperatures and more aggressive media.

Across Hongjie’s compound portfolio, rated capability spans –60°C to +325°C, depending on the material. Chemical compatibility is checked against 500+ fluids, gases and chemicals before a grade is approved.

For ethanol-blend fuel applications, see fuel-resistant O-rings. For process-line chemical exposure, see chemical-resistant O-rings.

Sizing & Standards

AS568A and metric O-ring sizing are supported from drawing or standard reference, per ASTM D2000/AS568 material and dimensional classification.

Dimension RangeStandard TolerancePrecision Tolerance
0–10mm±0.10mm±0.02mm
10–25mm±0.15mm±0.05mm
25–50mm±0.20mm±0.08mm
50–100mm±0.25mm±0.10mm

Standard dash sizes are listed under AS568 O-rings by dash size and material. Flat sealing discs compatible with FKM/Viton are covered under custom rubber washers and sealing discs.

What to Include in Your RFQ

  • ID and cross-section

    Or standard dash number

  • Media in contact

    Fluid, gas or chemical the seal will see

  • Operating temperature

    Continuous and peak service range

  • Pressure and seal motion

    Static or dynamic sealing duty

  • Target durometer

    70, 75, 90 Shore A, or FFKM

  • Order volume

    Prototype vs. production quantity

  • Certification needs

    Material certs, FDA/NSF compliance, inspection records

Prototyping & Manufacturing

Custom O-Ring Production

From tooling and prototype development to testing and production, each O-ring program is reviewed according to its geometry, compound and application requirements.

  • Molding Methods

    Injection molding and compression molding are available for different O-ring geometries, production volumes and tolerance requirements.

  • Existing Tooling

    Sizes matching Hongjie’s 3,500+ O-ring tools can often avoid new tooling cost and lead time.

  • Custom Tooling

    Non-standard geometries require new tooling, quoted separately from the part price.

  • Drawing-to-Part Process

    Upload your drawing for compound and specification review, followed by a functional prototype in 3–5 business days and a production quote.

  • Sample Testing

    Samples can be evaluated for hardness, tensile strength, compression set, chemical resistance and accelerated aging.

  • Sample Cost Review

    Sample cost is confirmed during RFQ review according to tooling status and testing requirements.

  • Rubber-to-Metal Bonding

    Bonded construction is available when the O-ring integrates with a metal carrier.

Quality & Certifications

Manufacturing is IATF 16949:2016 and ISO13485:2016 certified, with FDA and NSF compliant material options where required, run under SPC targeting Cpk > 1.33.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Viton mean in O-rings?
Viton is DuPont's brand name for FKM fluoroelastomer. Buyers and suppliers use "Viton" and "FKM" interchangeably when specifying this O-ring material.
Is Viton better than Nitrile or general-purpose O-rings?
Viton outperforms NBR and EPDM in heat resistance and broad chemical/fuel exposure, but NBR costs less and suits moderate-temperature oil and fuel service well. Choose by media and temperature rather than by default; see Viton O Rings vs the Alternatives for a full comparison.
Are Viton O-rings good for fuel?
Yes — standard FKM grades resist most common fuels. For aggressive or oxygenated blends, specify the compound grade before ordering.
