Applications

DuPont Performance Elastomers provides value in a wide range of applications—from adhesives to wire-cable insulation. Explore the benefits by selecting an application segment below.

Adhesives. Elastomers such as Neoprene, Hypalon®, and Viton® provide adhesives manufacturers with high-performance solutions for both waterbased and solvent-based adhesives.

Industrial Goods. DuPont Performance Elastomers are used across a wide range of general manufacturing applications.

Aerospace. Aerospace applications involve demanding sealing environments where reliability is critical. Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts and parts made of Viton® fluoroelastomer provide high performance in jet turbine engines and other vital aerospace applications.

Oil and Gas. Kalrez® parts and Viton® fluoroelastomers stand up to severe downhole conditions—from high pressures and temperatures to aggressive sour gas and corrosive fluids – making them true performers in critical oil and gas applictions in these harsh environments.

Automotive. DuPont Performance Elastomers products go the distance in today's demanding automotive applications. Along with proven Viton® fluoroelastomers for hoses and seals, Vamac®, Hypalon®, Acsium®, and Neoprene are available to meet a vast array of specifications.

Process Additives. Whether you're a resin designer, compounder, or converter, Viton® FreeFlow™ opens the door to new possibilities in processing linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and metallocene resins.

Chemical Processing.DuPont Performance Elastomers products provide dependable long-term service in the chemical processing industry, including petroleum refining, agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals and polymer production.

Semiconductor. Kalrez® has been extensively field-proven in the manufacture of semiconductors, where processing steps involve both thermal and chemical extremes. Kalrez® provides seal integrity and process purity backed by more than a quarter century of success.

Construction. Products such as Hypalon®, and Neoprene manifest inherent strength and resilience, allowing the construction industry to turn to DuPont Performance Elastomers products for everything from roofing and window gaskets to floating covers for reservoirs.

Wire and Cable. DuPont Performance Elastomers large product portfolio for the wire and cable industry includes Hypalon®, Neoprene, and Viton®. Together they meet virtually all jacketing requirements in the low and medium voltage category.

Food and Pharmaceuticals.In pharmaceutical and food processing sealing applications where cleanliness is critical, Kalrez® parts and Viton® fluoroelastomers offer cleanliness and chemical resistance, while maintaining true elastomeric properties and sealing capabilities.

Caution: Do not use in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body. For other medical applications, discuss with your DuPont Performance Elastomers customer service representative and read Medical Caution Statement H-69237.
