Product Description
TECNOFLON® P 457 is a low viscosity, medium fluorine (67%), peroxide curable fluoroelastomer. Tecnoflon® P 457 exhibits superior resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, coupled with excellent processability, optimum compression set and good flexibility at low temperatures. Tecnoflon® P 457 can be cross-linked using organic peroxides in conjunction with a coagent. Tecnoflon® P 457 is a lower viscosity version of Tecnoflon® P 757: please refer to Tecnoflon® P 757 Technical data sheet for data on chemical resistance.

Some of the basic properties of TECNOFLON® P 457 are:
  • Low post cure
  • Superior mold flow
  • Lack of mold fouling
  • Excellent mold release
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Good stress relaxation
  • Good metal bonding
  • Good low temperature performance

Tecnoflon® P 457 can be used for injection and transfer molding of shaft seals, valve seals, Orings, gaskets or any item requiring superior chemical resistance.
Tecnoflon® P 457 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 may be produced by a variety of rubber processing methods.
