Technoflon (FKM : Fluoroelastomers)
Tecnoflon® fluoroelastomers and perfluoroelastomers are designed for demanding sealing applications in aggressive chemical and high heat environments such as those found in the Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, and Energy markets and where high purity, and long service life are essential.
They are compatible with a wide range of fluids and chemicals including automotive lubricants, fuels, and additives. Typical end use products include O-rings, seals, gaskets, and complex molded parts.
Bisphenol-curable
Bisphenol-curable materials show excellent processability and a good balance of mechanical and sealing properties. They are available as base polymers, or formulated with incorporated cure systems (FOR grades). A variety of possible combinations of viscosity, cure rate, and crosslink density make them suitable for any molding process.
Peroxide-Curable
Peroxide-curable grades provide better chemical resistance than bisphenol-curable FKM, making them suitable for even the most severe end-use environments. Thanks to Solvay’s proprietary branching and pseudoliving polymerization technology, these grades can be successfully processed by compression, transfer, or injection molding. They also exhibit very good extrusion behavior, making them suitable for the production of hoses and wire jacketing.
This unique polymerization technology also delivers unmatched tensile properties and outstanding long-term sealing performance.
