Perfluoroether elastomer for wide fluid and temperature capabilities

Perfluoroether elastomer is based on a perfluoroether polymer backbone combined with silicone crosslinking. This combination produces products that have excellent low temperature flexibility and heat resistance, together with improved performance in fuels, solvents, acids, and alkalis compared to standard fluoroelastomers. The material family is available in a number of different forms including low viscosity flowing liquid, gum solid and also intermediate types of viscous fluid and paste. Variation of chemical compositions, filler loadings and rubber formulations make it possible to manufacture a variety of elastomeric products such as molded rubber parts, low modulus adhesives, soft coatinglayers, and very soft and sticky gels for a wide range of engineering applications.
