product use.

Fluoroelastomer (Viton) Use
Under normal design conditions, fluoroelastomer (VITON) parts, such as O-rings and seals,
are perfectly safe to handle.
To avoid injury from chemical burns, wear a face
shield and neoprene or PVC gloves when handling
fluoroelastomer O-rings or seals that have been degraded
by excessive heat. Discard gloves after handling degraded
fluoroelastomer parts.
However, a potential hazard may occur if these components are raised to a temperature above
316 C (600 F), such as during a cylinder failure or engine fire. At temperatures above 316 C
(600 F) fluoroelastomer will decompose (indicated by charring or the appearance of a black,
sticky mass) and produce hydrofluoric acid. This is extremely corrosive and, if touched by bare
skin, may cause severe burns, sometimes with symptoms delayed for several hours.
