"The increasing use of aggressive biodiesel and alcohol components in motor fuels is posing new challenges for companies that produce, blend, transport and dispense them.

Relative to other fuel components, biodiesel has unstable chemistry subject to degradation which is exacerbated by contamination as it moves along the distribution chain. The aggressive, contaminated fuel attacks hydrocarbon rubbers such as the nitrile rubbers that are widely used in hose, gaskets, seals and other parts of fuel-handling equipment.

Ethanol-containing fuels pose another challenge - permeation - and nitrile rubbers again fall short. Excessive permeation not only increases emissions of volatile organic compounds but also loses valuable fuel."

This Free White Paper includes charts and graphs detailing how Viton® is your best choice for BioFuel resistance in your sealing, gasket and o-ring applications.
