Ionic Curable FKM
Ionic curable FKM materials have a good balance of mechanical properties and sealing performance along with ease of processing. They are available as base polymers (gumstock) or grades formulated with incorporated cure systems (denoted by the FOR prefix in the grade name). A variety of possible combinations of viscosity, cure rate, and cross-link density make them suitable for any molding process. The HS copolymers are designed for low post-cure cycles. Rubber-to-metal bonding grades are available for all molding techniques.
* Copolymers are versatile polymers based on VDF and HFP monomers and have a fluorine content of 66%.
* Terpolymers offer better chemical resistance than copolymers due to their higher fluorine content (68-70%).
* Low-temperature terpolymers provide chemical resistance similar to ionic curable copolymers. Polymers have a fluorine content of 65.5% and they exhibit a lower glass transition temperature (Tg).
Peroxide curable FKM grades have the same fluorine content as ionic curable FKM products, yet offer better chemical resistance due to the curing process, making them suited for more severe end-use environments. These materials provide good flexibility at low temperatures, low post cure, optimum compression set, and good bonding to metal. Peroxide curable Tecnoflon® FKM products offer superior mold flow, excellent mold release and ease of processing via compression, extrusion, transfer or injection molding.
* Standard peroxide curable FKM (P Series) General purpose grades with excellent chemical resistance to different media.
* Base resistant FKMs (BR Series) Special class of peroxide curable grades designed to withstand caustic chemicals, such as concentrated sour gas found in oil & gas environments as well as aggressive engine oils, gear lubricants, transmission fluids and coolants.
* Low-Temperature FKMs (PL Series) Same benefits as the P Series polymers along with extended low-temperature service for automotive, aerospace and oil & gas applications.
* Extreme Low-Temperature FKM (VPL Series) Provide outstanding low-temperature sealing properties along with excellent resistance to harsh fluids and chemicals. Broad product selection includes grades with TR10 values ranging from -30°C (-22°F) down to
-45°C (-49°F). Typical applications include high-performance fuel injector O-rings and sealing components for oil field and aerospace applications.
Tecnoflon® VPL 85540 and VPL 55540 belong to a brand new generation of very low temperature peroxide curable FKM. They have been designed to offer outstanding low temperature flexibility (i.e. TR10 = 40°C). Like all other Tecnoflon® peroxide curable grades,they exhibit excellent processability and superior mechanical properties and sealing ability; moreover they need very short postcuring cycles. Some of the basic properties of Tecnoflon® VPL 85540 and VPL 55540 are:
– Outstanding low temperature behavior
– Very good chemical resistance
– Low post cure
– Superior mold flow
– Lack of mold fouling
– Excellent mold release
– Very good chemical resistance
