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 polychloroprene, and Viton® fluoroelastomers provide adhesives manufacturers with high-performance solutions for both waterbased and solvent-based adhesives.

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.

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.

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

Automotive. DuPont Performance Elastomers products go the distance in today's demanding automotive applications. Along with proven Viton® fluoroelastomers for hoses and seals, Vamac® ethylene acrylic elastomer, and Neoprene polychloroprene 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. Neoprene polychloroprene manifests inherent strength and resilience, allowing the construction industry to turn to DuPont Performance Elastomers products for everything from window gaskets, highway and cable sealed and bridge bearing pads.

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

Energy. Kalrez® parts and Viton® fluoroelastomers stand up to severe downhole conditions to make them true performers in critical oil and gas applications in harsh environments. In photovoltaic manufacturing processes, Kalrez® parts help improve performance and lower cost of ownership with long seal life.

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.
