Abstract: This disclosure relates to a spindle cover comprising a non-thermoplastic polyimide, wherein the spindle cover has a wall thickness in a range from about 1 mm to about 10 mm.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a spindle disc assembly comprising: a spindle disc having a plurality of spindle assemblies disposed along the periphery of the spindle disc, the spindle assemblies each comprising a spindle cover, wherein the spindle cover has a wall thickness in a range from about 1 mm to about 10 mm, and wherein the spindle cover comprises a non-thermoplastic polyimide.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a spindle assembly comprising: a spindle; and a spindle cover thereon, wherein the spindle cover has a wall thickness (T) in a range from about 1 mm to about 10 mm, and wherein the spindle cover comprises a non-thermoplastic polyimide.

Abstract: A cured perfluoroelastomer diaphragm comprises A) perfluoroelastomer and B) 10 to 50 parts by weight, per hundred parts by weight perfluoroelastomer, of carbon black a nitrogen adsorption specific area of 70-150 m2/g and a dibutyl phthalate absorption of 90-180 ml/100 g.

Abstract: Cured perfluoroelastomer articles are disclosed which have improved surface characteristics. The articles are coated with a thin durable film comprising a fluorocarbon telomer which reduces surface stickiness, while maintaining the sealing properties of the article.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fuel management system having at least one fluororubber article in contact with biodiesel fuel wherein said fluororubber article comprises i) a polyhydroxy cured fluoroelastomer comprising copolymerized units of vinylidene fluoride and at least one other fluoromonomer, and ii) 1 to 10 parts by weight of a diester of a dicarboxylic acid per hundred parts fluoroelastomer. Also disclosed is a method for reducing volume swell of a polyhydroxy cured fluororubber article in contact with biodiesel fuel wherein 1 to 10 parts by weight of a diester of a dicarboxylic acid is incorporated into said article.

Abstract: Elastomeric parts having a magnetic flux density of at least 10 gauss on their surface deflect a portion of reactive plasmas from contact with the surface of the parts. Thus, such parts may be exposed to reactive plasmas for longer periods, with less degradation, than may similar elastomer parts that do not have such a magnetic flux density on their surface.

Abstract: Cured perfluoroelastomer articles are disclosed which have improved surface characteristics. The articles are coated with a thin durable film comprising a polysiloxane and urethane oligomer which reduces surface stickiness, while maintaining the sealing properties of the article.
