Viton Extreme TBR and ETP are said to combine the excellent thermal resistance of Viton fluoroelastomers with unique resistance to chemicals and to environments that have historically exceeded the capabilities of conventional fluoroelastomers, according to the literature.
PEEK also enhances the chemical and thermal resistance of parts, offering a continuous-use temperature of 500 F.
We measured three specimens in the as-received condition, but the interfacial thermal resistance between the coating and sensor plate was too high for reliable thermal conductivity measurement due to the roughness of the coatings.
