Abstract
Abstract A fluorine-containing elastomer capable of giving a primary vulcanization product with a good permanent set through peroxide vulcanization is produced by homopolymerization or copolymerization of a fluorine-containing olefin having 2 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of an iodine and bromine-containing compound represented by the general formula RBrnIm, wherein R represents a fluorohydrocarbon group, a chlorofluorohydrocarbon group, a chlorohydrocarbon group or a hydrocarbon group, and n and m are integers of 1 and 2, and a small amount of perfluoro(unsaturated compound) which is iodotrifluoroethylene, perfluoro(bromoalkylvinylether) or perfluoro(iodoalkylvinylether).
