Q1: What is the primary chemical resistance profile of Tecnoflon BR 9151?
A: Tecnoflon BR 9151 is a bisphenol-cured fluoroelastomer offering excellent resistance to aggressive hydrocarbons, aromatic and chlorinated solvents, hot oils, and many acidic and alkaline media commonly encountered in demanding industrial and automotive sealing applications.
Q2: How does BR 9151 compare to peroxide-cured FKM grades in terms of compression set performance?
A: As a bisphenol-cured grade, BR 9151 delivers very low compression set at elevated temperatures—typically superior to standard peroxide-cured FKMs—making it especially suitable for static and dynamic seals requiring long-term dimensional stability under thermal stress.
Q3: Is BR 9151 suitable for use in contact with fuels containing bio-components such as ethanol or biodiesel?
A: Yes—BR 9151 demonstrates robust resistance to modern fuel blends, including those with moderate levels of ethanol (E10–E15) and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), supporting its use in fuel system components across automotive and off-highway applications.
Q4: What are typical processing considerations for BR 9151 during mixing and molding?
A: BR 9151 processes well on standard rubber equipment. It exhibits good scorch safety and uniform cure characteristics in both compression and injection molding. Optimal curing requires precise temperature control and adequate post-cure to achieve full fluoropolymer network development and optimal mechanical properties.
