Abstract: Co-vulcanizable compositions comprising a fluoroelastomer (A) composed of from 40% to 85% by mol of vinylidene fluoride, from 15% to 35% by mol of perfluoropropene and from 0 to 30% by mol of tetrafluoroethylene; a copolymer (B) containing from 40% to 60% by mol of tetrafluoroethylene and from 40% to 60% by mol of propylene; and (C) a compound belonging to the class of bis-peroxydicarbamates.

Abstract: Co-vulcanizable compositions comprising (A) 55-85% by weight of a fluoroelastomeric copolymer of vinylidene fluoride with perfluoropropene and possibly tetrafluoroethylene; (B) 45-15% by weight of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene; (C) 0.7-2.5 parts, per 100 parts of the (A)+(B) blend, of a bisphenolic compound; (D) 0.3-1.5 parts, per 100 parts of the (A)+(B) blend, of a quaternary ammonium, phosphonium or aminophosphonium organic compound; (E) 0.4-5 parts, per 100 parts of the (A)+(B) blend, of an organic peroxide; (F) 1-5% by weight, as referred to (A)+(B), of a peroxidic cross-linking coagent.

Abstract: A fluoroelastomer (A) based on vinylidene fluoride (40-83% by moles), perfluoropropene (15-35%) and tetrafluoroethylene (0%-30%) and a diamino compound (B), are mixed with a copolymer (C) containing tetrafluoroethylene (40%-60% by moles) and propylene (60-40%).The thus obtained mixture is covulcanizable with systems based on organic peroxides. In particular mixtures are employed, containing: (A)=42-70% by weight, (B)=1-4%, (C)=51-22%, peroxide 0.4-5%, triallylisocianurate 2-4%.

Abstract: Vulcanizable mixes based on elastomeric copolymers of vinylidene fluoride with fluorinated or chlorofluorinated olefins, or with fluorinated vinyl ethers, and which comprise, as processing aid, at least one fluorinated polyamide, are disclosed.

Abstract: Vulcanizable compositions of vinylidene fluoride copolymer elastomers, a process for the vulcanization thereof, and vulcanizates produced thereby. The vulcanizable compositions comprise, in addition to the elastomeric fluoride copolymer, an inorganic acid acceptor, a basic compound, a polyhydroxy or polythiol vulcanizing agent, and a phosphorus complex compound additive. The presence of the phosphorus complex additive facilitates satisfactory vulcanization rates without scorching. The vulcanized fluorinated elastomers produced therefrom may be used as gaskets for sealing purposes and as protective layers in contact with corrosive chemical agents. They are particularly useful in applications such as sealing gaskets requiring strong adhesion to metallic surfaces even under severe temperature conditions.
