Fluoroelastomer Articles1.Molecular formula:

-{(CH2CF2)0.8--[CF(CF3)CF2]0.2}n-

2.Properties:

  • Good heat resistance,solvent-resistance and excellent oil -resistance;
  • Good physical and mechanical properties,good electrical insulation and anti-radiation properties;
  • Working under 250oC   for long period,working at 300oC   for short period;
  • Low-temperature resistance not  bad.Glass-transition temperature -17oC. Brittle point -40oC~-55oC   ;
  • Not good resistance to low M.W.ketones,esters,some ethers,anhydrous ammonia and active  amines.

3.Applications:

Wildly used in aviation,automobile,petroleum,and chemical industries,mainly for sealing purpose. Especially good in the field of  requiring heat-resistance and or oil-resistance.Usually be made into "O" sealing rings,"V"sealing rings,gasket,sealing bowl with metal bone.Suitable for both static and dynamic sealing of hydraulic and lubricating systems.

4.Storage: In shady cool and dry place.

Transportation notes: Avoiding heating,moistening and exposing to the sun in transportation.    Non-hazardous chemicals.
