Provided are methods of bonding a fluoroelastomer to a metal substrate; fluoropolymer compounds comprising a fluoroelastomer, a curing agent and a bonding promoter; and composite materials obtained by curing the compound. Further provided is the use of bonding promoters for increasing the bond strength between a fluoroelastomer and a metal substrate.

Method of bonding a fluoroelastomer compound to a metal substrate using low molecular weight functional hydrocardons as bonding promoter

The joint agglomeration of PTFE and metal-containing fillers belonging to the group comprising copper, tin and alloys thereof with one another and with other metals is improved if an alkylsulfate or an alkanesulfonate having 10 to 18 carbon atoms is added to the liquid agglomeration medium.

Process for the preparation of an agglomerated molding powder composed

A process is described for preparing vinyl chloride polymers. The polymerization is carried out in an apparatus the inside walls and internal fitments of which have been coated with a reaction product which forms on reacting certain silanes with inhibitors for free-radical polymerizations and which contain in the molecule at least one aromatic or at least one quinonoid ring and at least one hydrogen atom which is bonded to an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom with subsequent reaction with water, drying and heat treatment. The wall-deposit formation observed with the new process is markedly smaller, in particular after several polymerization batches, than in the case of known processes.
