Product Description
TECNOFLON® FOR 7380K is a medium viscosity cure incorporated fluoroelastomer terpolymer (FKM) with 68 % fluorine content. Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K is designed to improve bonding in any application requiring adhesion to metal. In shaft seals or valve stem seals production, Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K greatly reduces the reject rate due to adhesion and molding problems. Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K contains a new curing system and proprietary special processing aid, providing superior processability for fast cycles and scorch safety.

Some of the basic properties of Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K are:
  • Very good flow
  • Superior rubber-to-metal bond
  • Lack of mould fouling
  • Excellent hot tear resistance

Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K can be used for compression, injection and transfer molding of shaft seals, valve stem seals, O-rings, gaskets and seals. This material can be extruded into hoses or profiles and can be calendered to make sheet stocks or belting. Tecnoflon® FOR 7380K can be combined with the cure system and other typical fluoroelastomer compounding ingredients. Mixing can be accomplished with two-roll mills or internal mixers.
