Fluoroelastomer

Recent Progress and Subject

Abstract

Recent trends of the market and technology in fluoroelastomers are reviewed.
Fluoroelastomers have been increasingly used in a variety of application fields such as chemical, automotive, electric, machinery and energy related industries as the most reliable elastometric material. These expanding applications have concurrently stimulated the technology of fluoroelastomers to develop and improve such elastomers as vinylidene fluoride-hexa fluoropropylene, tetrafluoroethylene-propylene, perfluorinated, fluorosilicone, phosphazene, etc. exhibiting still enhanced heat, chemical, oil, low temperature resistances, through creating new polymer, modifying the composition, or introducing new vulcanization recipe.
