FLUOROPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF CURING

摘要

Compositions having a fluoropolymer with a nitrile-containing cure site and at least a) a mono azide with at least one functional group in the beta position, or b) a polyazide, as a curing agent as well as methods and articles thereof are described. Cured compositions of this disclosure are found to exhibit a compression set resistance of less than 75% at 300°C for 70 hours; a resistance to water of less than 50% volume swell in 168 hours at 230°C and a resistance to ethylene diamine of less than 50% volume swell in 168 hours at 100°C.
