depending on time and service condition
Fluoroelastomer rubber has heat resistance up to 600 degrees F, and resistance to a wide range of oils and solvents; especially all aliphatic, aromatic, and halogenated hydrocarbons, acids, animal and vegetable oils. Fluoroelastomer is not recommended for ketones, low molecular weight esters, and nitro containing
compounds.
