Katon® 5000 Series ( Viton™ Extreme ETP Equivalent) Get a Quote

The Katon® 5000 Series is engineered for harsh industrial environments where standard FKM sealing materials may not provide sufficient chemical or thermal resistance.

Manufactured using FEPM-E fluoroelastomer (commonly associated with Viton™ Extreme, ETP type materials), this series combines excellent chemical compatibility, thermal stability, and mechanical durability while offering a more cost-efficient alternative to FFKM materials.

Designed for high-performance sealing applications, Katon® 5000 series compounds maintain reliable performance under prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals, high-temperature steam, elevated thermal conditions, and high-pressure operating environments.

Whether used in chemical processing facilities, automotive fuel systems, petrochemical plants, or semiconductor manufacturing, Katon® 5000 delivers consistent sealing reliability and extended service life while helping reduce total operating costs.

Features and Benefits

Exceptional Chemical Resistance

Katon® 5000 Series (Viton™ Extreme ETP equivalent) O-rings provide outstanding resistance to a wide range of harsh industrial chemicals, including alkalis, acids, amines, fuels, hydrocarbons, and aggressive process media.
Formulated with high-performance FEPM-E fluoroelastomer material, the 5000 Series is designed for chemically demanding environments where conventional elastomers may experience swelling, degradation, or sealing failure over prolonged exposure.

Cost-Effective Alternative to FFKM

Compared with high-performance perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) materials, Katon® 5000 Series O-rings offer an effective balance of chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical durability at a significantly lower cost.
This makes the series a practical sealing solution for applications requiring strong chemical compatibility without the higher material cost associated with full FFKM compounds.

Thermal and Mechanical Reliability

Designed for demanding industrial operating conditions, Katon® 5000 Series O-rings maintain reliable sealing integrity under elevated temperatures, steam exposure, and fluctuating pressure environments.
The FEPM-E material system provides excellent compression set resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical durability, ensuring long-term sealing performance in continuous and cyclic operations.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Katon® 5000 Series O-rings are widely used in industries requiring dependable sealing performance under chemical, thermal, and pressure-intensive operating conditions.
Typical applications include chemical processing systems, fuel handling equipment, steam environments, hydraulic systems, petrochemical facilities, semiconductor manufacturing, and other industrial applications where sealing reliability and long service life are critical.
