When your application demands tubing that can withstand aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, and harsh operating environments, Viton tubing is the industry-leading solution.
At Altec Extrusions Ltd, we supply high-performance Viton tubing designed for superior durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance in the most demanding industrial applications. From aerospace fuel systems to chemical processing plants, Viton tubing delivers reliable long-term performance where standard rubber and plastic tubing fail.
What Is Viton® Tubing?
Viton® is a premium fluoroelastomer (FKM) material originally developed for environments exposed to high temperatures, fuels, oils, and corrosive chemicals. Compared to conventional rubber tubing materials, Viton tubing offers exceptional thermal stability, low permeability, and outstanding resistance to chemical degradation.
Because of its unique properties, Viton tubing is widely used for:
- Chemical transfer systems
- Fuel and oil lines
- Laboratory fluid handling
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Aerospace and automotive applications
- Industrial sealing solutions
Its ability to maintain flexibility and structural integrity under pressure makes it one of the most trusted tubing materials in critical industries.
Key Features and Benefits of Viton® Tubing
Choosing Viton tubing means investing in long-lasting performance, reliability, and chemical compatibility.
High Temperature Resistance
Viton tubing performs continuously in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +200°C, with intermittent resistance up to 250°C. This makes it ideal for high-heat industrial and automotive environments.
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Viton tubing is highly resistant to:
- Fuels and hydrocarbons
- Oils and lubricants
- Solvents and acids
- Corrosive chemicals
- Industrial fluids
This superior chemical compatibility helps reduce tubing degradation, leaks, and maintenance costs.
Long-Term Durability
With exceptional resistance to ozone, weathering, oxidation, and ageing, Viton tubing maintains performance over extended periods, even in harsh outdoor or industrial conditions.
Low Permeability
The material’s low gas and vapor permeability reduces fluid loss and improves system efficiency, particularly in fuel handling and chemical transfer applications.
Flexibility and Strength
Despite its toughness, Viton tubing remains flexible and resilient, making installation easier while maintaining dimensional stability under stress.
Precision Manufacturing
At Altec Extrusions Ltd, every length of Viton tubing is precision-extruded to ensure:
- Consistent wall thickness
- Smooth surface finish
- Accurate dimensions
- Reliable performance
