The Ultimate High-Performance Fluoroelastomer Tubing
Welcome to Shenzhen Forbest, a premier Viton Hose China supplier and manufacturer.
Viton tubing, manufactured from fluoroelastomer (FKM), serves applications requiring material stability under thermal and chemical stress.
Shenzhen Forbest operates as a Viton Hose China supplier and manufacturer, producing extruded tubing for industries including automotive, chemical processing, aerospace, and analytical instrumentation.
Fluoroelastomers exhibit molecular stability due to carbon-fluorine bonds. This structure resists attack from hydrocarbons, acids, and oxidizing agents. Unlike nitrile or neoprene, FKM maintains physical properties after prolonged contact with diesel, gasoline, aromatics, and chlorinated solvents.
Whether you are in aerospace, automotive, or chemical processing, our tubing ensures durability, safety, and reliable performance
As a direct Viton Hose factory, we offer competitive pricing and customization to meet your exact specifications, making us the ideal partner for OEM and industrial procurement worldwide.
Our Viton Hose (Fluoroelastomer FKM) represents the pinnacle of performance for environments characterized by high heat, corrosive chemicals, and volatile fuels.
As a leading Viton Hose China supplier and manufacturer, we combine advanced material science with precision extrusion to deliver tubing that exceeds industry expectations.

3. Applications: Where Viton Tubing Excels
Thanks to its robust property profile, Shenzhen Forbest’s Viton tubing is utilized across a diverse range of high-stakes industries:
-
Automotive and Racing: Used extensively in fuel lines, emission control systems, turbocharger oil lines, and transmission cooler hoses. Its ability to resist modern biofuels and high under-hood temperatures ensures safety and longevity .
-
Aerospace and Defense: Specified for hydraulic systems, fuel transfer, and cable jacketing in engine compartments where exposure to jet fuel and extreme temperature fluctuations is routine .
-
Chemical Processing: Ideal for peristaltic pumps transferring aggressive acids, solvents, and paints. Our specially formulated 60 Shore A durometer grade offers excellent pumping life and chemical inertness .
-
Industrial Equipment: Used in compressors, vacuum pumps, and fluid power systems that require seals and connectors resistant to industrial lubricants and coolants.
-
Analytical and Laboratory: In gas analyzers and spectrometers (ICP), Viton tubing is preferred for transporting exacting gas samples without contaminating them or degrading the tube itself
-
Chemical Compatibility
FKM resists:
-
Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel, benzene, toluene)
-
Halogenated solvents (trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride)
-
Acids (sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric) at moderate concentrations
-
Animal and vegetable oils
-
Silicone oils and greases
