Tecnoflon^® VPL 55540

Tecnoflon^® VPL 85540 and VPL 55540 belong to a brand new generation of very low temperature peroxide curable FKM. They have been designed to offer outstanding low temperature flexibility (i.e. TR10 = –40°C). Like all other Tecnoflon^® peroxide curable grades, they exhibit excellent processability and superior mechanical properties and sealing ability; moreover they need very short postcuring cycles.

Some of the basic properties of Tecnoflon^® VPL 85540 and VPL 55540 are:

• Outstanding low temperature behavior

• Very good chemical resistance

• Low post cure

• Superior mold flow

• Lack of mold fouling

• Excellent mold release

• Very good chemical resistance

Solvay Specialty Polymers offers medium (VPL 85540) and low viscosity (VPL 55540) versions in order to fulfil all customer’s requirements. Accordingly to the curing technology, Tecnoflon^® VPL 85540 and VPL 55540 can be transformed by all the molding techniques, including injection, injection compression, compression, and transfer molding.
