Meeting the Engineering Challenge:
As components have been added to vehicles to meet the rising demands of government regulations, the number of connection points has increased. Not only must the connection point be secure, the sealing material itself needs to resist fuel permeation for 15 years or more.
DuPont Performance Elastomers offers solutions for applications that demand high-performance materials, such as Viton® fluoroelastomer for use in O-rings, seals and hoses.
For example, fuel injector O-rings of Viton® provide resistance to alcohol/fuel blends and oxidized fuel over a broad temperature range for precise and reliable seal performance.
O-rings and parts must be able to seal down to –40°C and lower, and they must show improved long-term durability. Fuel system quick connectors using Viton® O-rings offer ease of assembly and disassembly in a high-performance and durable sealing system.
