I spoke with a shop+dive center. They told me the only dive with Nitrox these days, but their O-Rings and rubber parts age very fast, specialy at the high pressure parts.
I asked them why they didn't use Viton instead, as Viton can stay oxygen a lot better. They told me they would like but they have no source for Viton O-Rings. As I work for a hydraulic/pneumatic seal company I would like to ask the community of diver if there is really a need of Viton parts (not only ORings)??
Does it make sense to look into it and offer something or is that simply not true and there is no need or there are already strong companies on that?
Please advise!
