This
Special TFE Elastomer is a Fluorocarbon
elastomer based on the Monomers Tetrafluoroethylene
(TFE) and Propylene (P).
TFE-P
Elastomer differs greatly from other
Fluorocarbon elastomers in that it does
not contain Hexafluoropropylene or Vinylidene
Fluoride in the basic polymer structure.
This
"Panacea" compound will provide long term service life
at temperatures to 400°F and can be utilized in shorter term
service up to limits of 600°F.
TFE-P
is readily usable in higher pH environments,
certain types of Polar Solvents,
as well as many varieties of Acids,
Alkalis, Salts, and Oils.
Gasketing
for Electrolytic Cells in Chlor-Alkali
and Chlorate should be prime considerations.
