Abstract

Abstract An elastomeric fluoropolymer comprising 12 to 50% by mole of repeating units derived from a perfluorovinyl ether of the formula: CF2=CFO-(CF2CFXO)m-Rf(I) wherein Rf is a C1-C6 perfluoroalkyl group, X is a fluorine atom or a trifluoromethyl group and m is an integer of 1 to 5, 50 to 88% by mole of repeating units derived from tetrafluoroethylene and 0.1 to 5% by mole of repeating units of hexafluoropropylene having improved strength and compression set.
