Abstract: A fluorine-containing elastomer comprising vinylidene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene having a high fluorine content (e.g. at least 68% by weight) can be vulcanized with a polyol-based cross-linking agent by further copolymerizing 2H-pentafluoropropylene into the elastomer, whereby the resulting vulcanization products having improved characteristics such as rheological properties, normal state physical properties and compression set can be obtained. Vulcanization products obtained by vulcanization with a polyol-based cross-linking agent and a quaternary onium salt compound have a good permeation resistance to fuel oil as a result of a permeation test with a mixed solvent of gasoline/methanol in a volume ratio of 85/15.
