NEW ENGINEERING MATERIAL FOR ADVANCED DESIGN CONCEPTS.

ECD-006 perfluoroelastomer is a new high performance elastomer based on the copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether) and a third monomer (a perfluorovinyl ether grouping with an active cure site monomer). This material, when crosslinked, gives vulcanizates with outstanding chemical and fluid resistance and high temperature oxidative resistance. In many cases this elastomer may be used to replace either metal or plastic parts, but a direct shape replacement very often is not satisfactory. Instead, the design must be modified. Some areas of application for ECD-006 parts are indicated.
