Fluoroelastomer rubber, well known for its excellent heat resistance (200 °C), offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals.
Many types of Fluoroelastomer rubbers have been develop
ed to meet specific end-use and processing needs. There are differences between rubber types in terms of chemical resistance and mechanical properties. The general purpose types differ primarily from the specialty types in chemical resistance.
The formulation of fluoroelastomer rubbers, can be tailored to a reasonable extent to meet the needs of high heat, oil and chemical resistance but indifferent low temperature performance.
They are one of the most resistant to high temperatures of all of the commercially available elastomers.
