Product Description
TECNOFLON® TN is a high viscosity fluoroelastomer terpolymer. TN is well suited for applications requiring better chemical resistance and/or long term heat resistance compared to fluoroelastomer copolymers. It can be blended with other polymers of the Tecnoflon® family to meet specific requirements. TN does not contain curatives, therefore the proper levels of Tecnoflon® FOR M1 and Tecnoflon® FOR M2 must be added to achieve required properties. It can also be cured with diamines.

Some of the basic properties of TECNOFLON® TN are:
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good compression set
  • Excellent mould release
  • Lack of mould fouling
  • Superior mould flow

Tecnoflon® TN can be used for compression and transfer molding of shaft seals, valve stem seals, O-rings, gaskets, seals or any item requiring excellent chemical resistance. Tecnoflon® TN 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.
