A Premium Viton Gasket Supplier

Viton: A Gasket Material Made for Fuel and Oil Applications

Fuel and oil can wreak havoc on rubber gaskets. When other gasket materials may leak due to these substances, Viton is built to thrive in these types of environments. That’s why Timco works with businesses to provide them with high quality Viton gaskets made to seal your applications in the presence of fuel and oil.

While Viton rubber was first used by the aerospace industry as a high-performance elastomer, the material quickly spread to other industries. Viton’s natural excellent resistance to fuel and oil make it a great fit for automotive, appliance, chemical, and any other industries where other materials will break down over time. Viton is also a high-performance elastomer for extremely hot and corrosive environments, giving this material a reputation for thriving in demanding environments.

If you need quality Viton rubber gaskets made for your specific applications, it’s time to contact Timco today. Our experts work with you to design and provide custom Viton gaskets based on your performance, assembly, and budget needs. Whether you need a molded Viton gasket seal or precision die cut parts, we can make sure your Viton gaskets are the perfect fit for your specifications.
