Chemical-Resistant Viton® Fluoroelastomer Rubber Balls

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: 0° to 400° F
- Tensile Strength: 1,500 psi
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Resistant to harsh chemicals and high temperatures, these balls stand up in applications as extreme as aerospace fuel systems. You can use them as seals in check valves and pumps or bounce them in vibrating sifters to clean screens. Made of Viton® fluoroelastomer rubber, also known as FKM, these rubber balls resist chemicals such as nitric acid, ethylene glycol, and isopropyl alcohol. Compared to Aflas, this rubber has better resistance to solvents and petroleum-based fuels. However, it doesn't hold up as well to steam and strong acids as Aflas.

- Temperature Range: 15° to 445° F
- Tensile Strength: 1,200 psi
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
For use in harsh environments, these FFKM balls resist most chemicals and withstand temperatures up to 445° F. Also known as perfluoroelastomer, FFKM is comparable to Kalrez. Use these balls as seals in pumps and check valves that are exposed to high heat and aggressive chemicals, such as in semiconductor manufacturing.
Weather-Resistant EPDM Rubber Balls

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 225° F
- Tensile Strength: 1,500 psi
