Tecnoflon^® P 457

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, O-rings, 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. Tecnoflon^® P 457 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.
