Abstract
Abstract A peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer composition comprising an elastomeric copolymer containing units derived from vinylidene fluoride, units derived from at least one other fluorine-containing monomer copolymerizable with vinylidene fluoride, said monomer being a compound which contains 2-7 carbon atoms, contains no bromine atom and contains at least as many fluorine atoms as carbon atoms, up to 3 mole percent, based on the total moles of copolymer, of a bromine-containing olefin with the proviso that enough of such olefin is present to provide at least about 0.05 weight percent bromine in the copolymer and about 0.5-5 parts per hundred parts elastomeric copolymer of tetramethylene sulfone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
In a peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer composition comprising an elastomeric copolymer containing units derived from vinylidene fluoride, units derived from at least one other fluorine-containing monomer copolymerizable with vinylidene fluoride, said monomer being a compound which contains no bromine atom, and contains at least as many fluorine atoms as carbon atoms and up to 3 mole percent of units derived from a bromine-containing olefin, with the proviso that enough of such olefin is present to provide at least about 0.05 weight percent bromine in the copolymer, the improvement which comprises the fluoroelastomer composition contains about 0.5-5 parts per hundred parts elastomeric copolymer of tetramethylene sulfone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
In a peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer composition comprising an elastomeric copolymer containing units derived from vinylidene fluoride, units derived from at least one other fluorine-containing monomer copolymerizable with vinylidene fluoride, said monomer being a compound which contains no bromine atom, and contains at least as many fluorine atoms as carbon atoms and up to 3 mole percent of units derived from a bromine-containing olefin, with the proviso that enough of such olefin is present to provide at least about 0.05 weight percent bromine in the copolymer, the improvement which comprises the fluoroelastomer composition contains about 0.5-5 parts per hundred parts elastomeric copolymer of tetramethylene sulfone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A composition of claim 1 wherein from about 1.5-2 parts sulfone are incorporated in the elastomeric copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition of claim 1 containing about 1-15 parts by weight per 100 parts copolymer of a divalent metal oxide or divalent metal hydroxide acid acceptor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composition of claim 1 wherein the fluoroelastomer contains about 30-60 weight percent vinylidine fluoride units.
