Cured perfluoroelastomer articles are disclosed which have improved surface characteristics. The articles are coated with a thin durable film comprising a fluorocarbon telomer which reduces surface stickiness, while maintaining the sealing properties of the article.

Perfluoroelastomer articles having good surface properties

Disclosed herein is a fuel management system having at least one fluororubber article in contact with biodiesel fuel wherein said fluororubber article comprises i) a polyhydroxy cured fluoroelastomer comprising copolymerized units of vinylidene fluoride and at least one other fluoromonomer, and ii) 1 to 10 parts by weight of a diester of a dicarboxylic acid per hundred parts fluoroelastomer. Also disclosed is a method for reducing volume swell of a polyhydroxy cured fluororubber article in contact with biodiesel fuel wherein 1 to 10 parts by weight of a diester of a dicarboxylic acid is incorporated into said article.

Fuel management systems having a fluororubber article in contact with biodiesel fuel

Elastomeric parts having a magnetic flux density of at least 10 gauss on their surface deflect a portion of reactive plasmas from contact with the surface of the parts. Thus, such parts may be exposed to reactive plasmas for longer periods, with less degradation, than may similar elastomer parts that do not have such a magnetic flux density on their surface.

Plasma resistant elastomer parts

Cured perfluoroelastomer articles are disclosed which have improved surface characteristics. The articles are coated with a thin durable film comprising a polysiloxane and urethane oligomer which reduces surface stickiness, while maintaining the sealing properties of the article.

Perfluoroelastomer articles having improved surface properties

A highly durable, high whiteness elastomer seal material molded from a composition comprising a perfluoroelastomer and a white pigment and having a surface with a whiteness of at least 90 as expressed by a W (Lab) color expression system under the conditions of a 2 degree field of view and a C-light source.
