Viton is a synthetic family of elastomer used as a high-performance jacketing material, with very good resistance to chemicals, heat, and fire and good mechanical properties; Viton is a trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
Viton is a trademarked family of synthetic elastomers, specifically fluoroelastomers, used as a high-performance jacketing material for wire and cable. It possesses very good resistance to chemicals, heat, and fire, along with good mechanical properties, which makes it suited to demanding environments where ordinary jacket materials would degrade. Viton is a trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
Because of its outstanding chemical, heat, and fire resistance, Viton serves as a jacket where cable is exposed to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or fire hazards. Its combination of these properties with good mechanical strength makes it a premium jacketing choice for severe conditions.
In commercial and industrial settings, Viton-jacketed cable serves applications such as chemical processing, high-temperature equipment, and other harsh environments. Recognizing the material helps in understanding jacket choices for demanding conditions.
