A fluoroelastomer comprising constituent units derived from vinylidene fluoride (a) and constituent units derived from perfluoro(methoxypropyl vinyl ether) (b), optionally together with constituent units derived from tetrafluoroethylene (c) and/or constituent units derived from a perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether (d), wherein the constituent units (a) are contained in an amount of 65 to 85 mol %, the constituent units (b) in an amount of 0.5 to 30 mol %, the constituent units (c) in an amount of 0 to 10 mol % and the constituent units (d) in an amount of 0 to 25 mol %. The fluoroelastomer can be produced by a process comprising copolymerizing vinylidene fluoride and perfluoro(methoxypropyl vinyl ether), optionally together with tetrafluoroethylene and/or a perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether, in the presence of an iodated brominated compound represented by the general formula RBrnIm [I]. Further, there is provided a crosslinkable composition comprising the above fluoroelastomer and a peroxide crosslinking agent. Still further, there is provided a curing product produced by curing the above crosslinkable composition, and having excellent resistances to heat, cold and solvents.
