VT75BK16 is a 75 shore A black FKM Type A compound engineered for high purity sealing applications requiring FDA, USP Class VI <87> and <88>, and 3A sanitary compliance. This material is ideal for O-rings and gaskets used in food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, and medical systems, where both chemical resistance and regulatory standards are critical. It offers excellent compatibility with fuels, oils, and a wide range of chemicals, along with strong resistance to cleaning processes such as CIP and SIP. With a service temperature range of -26°C to 225°C, VT75BK16 meets ASTM D2000 M2HK710 requirements and provides reliable sealing performance in demanding sanitary environments.
FKM, commonly referred to as Viton®, is a high performance fluoroelastomer widely used in O-rings and gaskets where resistance to heat, chemicals, and fuels is essential. High purity FKM compounds that meet FDA, USP Class VI, and 3A standards are specifically formulated for use in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries where contamination control and compliance are required. These materials maintain strong sealing integrity and long service life even in aggressive environments and repeated cleaning cycles. While highly versatile, FKM materials are generally not recommended for hot water, steam, or certain polar solvents beyond their limits, making proper material selection important.
