Curable fluoroelastomer compositions

The present invention relates to compositions based on elastomeric polymers of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropene and optionally tetrafluoroethylene suitable for providing microcellular foamed vulcanized articles by extrusion or compression molding. In the case of the production of extruded articles based on vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropene copolymers, the compositions comprise: the copolymer, bisphenol AF, a quaternary phosphonium or aminophosphonium salt, azodicarbonamide, MgO, Ca(OH),, zinc stearate and a plasticizer, each of the components being contained in an exactly defined proportion.

Compositions based on elastomeric polymers of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropene and optionally tetrafluoroethylene, suitable for providing microcellular foamed articles

Use of additives of the classes of mono- and/or di-hydroxypolyfluoroethers comprising the fluoropolyoxyalkylenic repeating units chosen from the following ones: (C.sub.3 F.sub.6 O); (CFXO) wherein X=F, CF.sub.3 ; (CH.sub.2 CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 O); (CF.sub.2 (CF.sub.2).sub.z CF.sub.2 O) wherein z is an integer equal to 1 or 2; (C.sub.2 F.sub.4 O), in curable compositions of fluoroelastomers to improve the coefficient of friction without lowering the adhesion with bonding agents to metal reinforcements.
