Fluoro Elastomers
1. Advantage:
Fluoroelastomers can be used over a wide
temperature range extending from -30 to 250 and demonstrate a superior
resistance to such destabilizing elements as oil, solvents, acid,
alkali, and ozone, making them a better choice over other elastic
objects when conditions are harsh.
2. Types:
FPM26
FPM246
FPM2311Q
3.Application
:
At present, with the economic
development of the country, FPM26 is widely used in aviation,
automobile, petroleum, chemical industries and construction, etc. Can be
made into rubber belt, tube, film, fiber-boned sheet and gasket, fuel
tank and as dipping material.
4. Safe Handing and Use:
Always read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
before using and refer to each products of specific
technical resource material for precautionary items in handling each
product. The following information was written as a reference on the
precautionary items for general handling of fluoroelastomers.
-
Compounding agent and facility
The common fillers and facilities for commodity rubber can be used
for DAI-EL. The mixing mill needs to be cooled. Finely divided
metallic powder or filler, such as aluminum and magnesium, or amine
compounds of more than 10% should not be used as compounding agents
for DAI-EL because such materials are known to decompose vigorously
at moderately elevated temperature.
-
Storage and remixing
Store the compound in a tightly closed package in a cool and dry
place.
Another milling before use is recommended when the compound is left
for more than three days. Too tight a nip between the rolls in the
mixing mill may cause scorching. Be sure to cool the rolls well
whenever the compound is milled with tight nip.
-
Molding/Curing
The work area should be adequately ventilated at all times because a
small amount of toxic gases(e.g. HF, acetone, methanol,
acetaldehyde, methyl iodide and carbon monoxide) may be evolved
during curing.
-
Material handling
A slight amount of hydrogen fluoride vapor may be produced during
use at high temperatures (above 200Ž). The room should be well
ventilated.
Do not smoke in the work areas as harmful vapors may be inhaled when
cigarettes are exposed to the powder of DAI-EL. After handling the
powder of DAI-EL, knock off any dust from your hair or clothing and
wash your face and hands thoroughly before smoking.
-
Disposal
Do not incinerate DAI-EL as this can produce harmful vapors.
Disposal should be done in accordance with local laws and
regulations.
