Abstract
Abstract A fluorinated polyether is synthesized by (1) reacting perfluoroglutaryl chloride and 1,5-hexafluoropentane diol to provide a fluorinated polyester and (2) converting ester groups of the polyester to ether groups by SF4 reduction. The product obtained is a thermally stable polyether which is particularly useful in providing an elastomeric material for aircraft fuel tank sealants, tire valves, O-rings, hose, gaskets, and the like.
