VT60BK05 is a 60 shore A black FKM Type A compound formulated for FDA compliant sealing applications where flexibility and chemical resistance are critical. This material meets FDA CFR 21 177.2600 requirements, making it ideal for O-rings and gaskets used in food processing, beverage systems, and sanitary equipment. Its lower durometer improves conformability in low pressure applications while still providing excellent resistance to heat, fuels, oils, and a wide range of industrial chemicals. With a service temperature range of -26°C to 225°C, VT60BK05 meets ASTM D2000 M2HK607 requirements and serves as a reliable, cost-effective solution for regulated environments.
FKM, commonly referred to as Viton®, is a high performance fluoroelastomer widely used in O-rings and gaskets where resistance to fuels, oils, and elevated temperatures is essential. FDA compliant FKM materials are specifically developed to meet food contact regulations while maintaining strong chemical resistance and long service life. Lower durometer variants like 60A are often selected for improved sealing in static applications where flexibility and compression are key factors. While highly versatile, FKM compounds are generally not recommended for hot water, steam, or certain polar solvents, making proper material selection important for long-term sealing success.
