Product Description
TECNOFLON® L 636 is a medium-low viscosity fluoroelastomer terpolymer with 66% fluorine content, designed to provide improved low temperature characteristics. Tecnoflon® L 636 does not contain curatives: therefore the proper levels of Tecnoflon® FOR M1 and Tecnoflon® FOR M2 must be added to achieve the required properties. Tecnoflon® L 636 is especially suited for injection moulding of O-rings and sealing components which must meet demanding specifications. Tecnoflon® L 636 exhibits the same excellent heat and chemical resistance expected from Tecnoflon® copolymers.

Some of the basic properties of TECNOFLON® L 636 are:
  • Improved low temperature performance
  • Good heat and chemical resistance
  • Very low compression set
  • Excellent mould release
  • Lack of mould fouling
  • Superior mould flow

Tecnoflon® L 636 can be used for compression, injection and transfer molding of O-rings, diaphragms, gaskets, seals, moulded shapes or other items requiring improved low temperature performance. Tecnoflon® L 636 can be combined with the cure system and other typical fluoroelastomer compounding ingredients. Mixing can be accomplished with two-roll mills or internal mixers. This material can be extruded into hoses or profiles and can be calendered to make sheet stocks or belting.
Finished goods can be produced by a variety of rubber processing methods.
