Product Description
TECNOFLON® P 959 is a medium viscosity, high fluorine (70%), peroxide curable fluoroelastomer. Tecnoflon® P 959 exhibits superior resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, coupled with excellent processability and optimum compression set. Tecnoflon® P 959 can be cross-linked using organic peroxides in conjunction with a co-agent.

Some of the basic properties of TECNOFLON® P 959 are:
  • Low post cure
  • Superior mold flow
  • Lack of mold fouling
  • Excellent mold release
  • Good chemical resistance especially in:
    • Alcohol containing fuels
    • Steam
    • Fluids containing amine additives

Tecnoflon® P 959 can be used for compression, injection and transfer molding of shaft seals, valve seals, O-rings, gaskets or any item requiring superior chemical resistance.
Tecnoflon® P 959 can be combined with the cure system and other typical fluoroelastomer compounding ingredients. Mixing can be accomplished with two-roll mills or internal mixers. Finished goods may be produced by a variety of rubber processing methods.This material can be extruded into hoses or profiles and can be calendered to make sheet stocks or belting.
