Abstract
A method of reducing the static and dynamic coefficients of friction and improving the wear life of thermoset elastomeric articles is disclosed. The elastomeric articles are fluorinated in the presence of a hydrogen fluoride scavenger under conditions sufficient to reduce said friction coefficient and improve said wear life, without promoting degradation of the tensile properties of the articles.
