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.
