Abstract
Abstract Base-resistant peroxide-curable fluoroelastomers with improved processibility comprising a polymeric chain having tetrafluroethylene as one comonomer copolymerized with monomer units selected from the group (a) propylene, (b) propylene and vinylidene fluoride and (c) a C 2-3 hydrocarbon olefin and one or more perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers); said polymer chains having terminal iodo-groups.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for preparing a base-resistant peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer with improved processibility comprising copolymerizing (a) tetrafluoroethylene with propylene, (b) tetrafluoroethylene, propylene, and vinylidene fluoride or (c) tetrafluoroethylene ethylene and one or more perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers), said copolymerization being carried out in the presence of a compound of the formula RI 2 , wherein R is a saturated perfluorocarbon or chloroperfluorocarbon alkylene group of 3 or more carbon atoms, with at least 3 carbon atoms separating the iodo groups, said polymerization further being carried out at monomer pressures above about 1.7 MPa and at temperatures of about 25°-100° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for preparing a base-resistant peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer with improved processibility comprising copolymerizing (a) tetrafluoroethylene with propylene, (b) tetrafluoroethylene, propylene, and vinylidene fluoride or (c) tetrafluoroethylene ethylene and one or more perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers), said copolymerization being carried out in the presence of a compound of the formula RI 2 , wherein R is a saturated perfluorocarbon or chloroperfluorocarbon alkylene group of 3 or more carbon atoms, with at least 3 carbon atoms separating the iodo groups, said polymerization further being carried out at monomer pressures above about 1.7 MPa and at temperatures of about 25°-100° C.
