Patent number: 5502115Abstract: The emission of the highly toxic volatile products, such as methyl bromides or iodides, or ethyl bromides or iodides, during the cure with peroxides of fluoroelastomers containing bromine or iodine atoms is substantially reduced by adding to the cure mix small amounts of substances capable of combining with the radicals which give rise to the aforesaid toxic products, thereby preventing them from forming. This procedure does not sensibly affect the cure trend and results.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: Ausimont S.r.l.Inventors: Graziella Chiodini, Anna Minutillo
