Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A co-vulcanizable fluoroelastomer blend consisting essentially of (a) 50-95 weight percent of at least one tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro-(methylvinyl ether)/cure-site monomer terpolymer and (b) 5-50 weight percent of at least one hexafluoropropylene oxide/cure-site monomer dipolymer, wherein the reactive functional group of the cure-site monomer in the terpolymer is the same as in the dipolymer and is selected from the group consisting of --C 6 F 5 and --CN.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A co-vulcanizable fluoroelastomer blend consisting essentially of (a) 50-95 weight percent of at least one tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro-(methylvinyl ether)/cure-site monomer terpolymer and (b) 5-50 weight percent of at least one hexafluoropropylene oxide/cure-site monomer dipolymer, wherein the reactive functional group of the cure-site monomer in the terpolymer is the same as in the dipolymer and is selected from the group consisting of --C 6 F 5 and --CN.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
