Abstract
Abstract A fluoroelastomer comprising 2 to 8% by mole of tetrafluoroethylene, 14 to 25% by mole of perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) and 70 to 85% by mole of vinylidene fluoride, sum total being 100% by mole, obtained by copolymerization in the presence of a bromine-containing monomer compound and an iodine and bromine-containing compound, has distinguished low temperature characteristics, solvent resistance and chemical resistance by itself.
