Abstract
Abstract The invention herein disclosed provides a method for preparing improved fluoroelastomer film compositions including the steps of dissolving a fluoroelastomer gum selected from the group consisting of copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and terpolymers of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene in a solvent, adding a silane compound to the gum solution and curing the fluoroelastomer gum with a silane in the absence of metallic oxides. A method is also provided for adhering fluoroelastomer film compositions, devoid of metallic oxides, to substrates which includes the steps of dissolving the fluoroelastomer gum in a solvent, adding a silane compound to the gum solution, coating the substrate with the fluoroelastomer gum-silane solution, evaporating the solvent and leaving a film firmly adhered to the substrate. Another method includes the steps of first coating a substrate with a silane compound, then applying a fluoroelastomer gum solution over the silane coated substrate, evaporating the solvent and leaving a film firmly adhered to the substrate. The fluoroelastomer film compositions disclosed herein are also novel and can be used to coat a variety of substrates thereby providing other novel, useful articles.
