Soft Viton® 55 Durometer Supplier
UNDERSTANDING SOFT 55 DURO VITON®
With most rubber materials, choosing a softer durometer (Hardness) can be a good choice when facing irregular sealing surfaces or applications where a seal is needed with less force.
As a Soft Viton® 55 durometer gasket supplier, our 55 Durometer Viton® meets the same specifications as our quality commercial grade product, but in a softer version. While our regular Viton® is 75 durometer, this softer version is more cushiony and more easily conforms to uneven mating faces.

Why Choose a Soft Viton®?
When sealing reliability matters more than brute force, softer elastomers are best. As a Soft Viton® 55 durometer gasket supplier, Blaylock works with applications where lower compression set and increased conformability are critical.
A 55 durometer material allows the gasket to adapt to worn or imperfect sealing surfaces commonly found on aging flanges, plates, and legacy equipment.
In applications where bolt load or torque is limited – due to design constraints or sensitive components – a softer Viton compound helps achieve an effective seal without excessive pressure. This makes 55 durometer Viton especially valuable in systems that require chemical resistance and temperature stability while still accommodating mechanical limitations.
