Product Description
TECNOFLON® FOR TF is a high viscosity cure incorporated fluoroelastomer terpolymer (FKM) with 68% fluorine content. Tecnoflon® FOR TF is well suited for applications requiring better chemical resistance and/or long term heat resistance compared to fluoroelastomer copolymers.

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

Tecnoflon® FOR TF can be used for compression and transfer moulding of seals, gaskets or any item requiring excellent chemical resistance.
This material can be combined with the cure system and other typical fluoroelastomer compounding ingredients. Mixing can be accomplished with two-roll mills or internal mixers.
Tecnoflon® FOR TF 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.
