Q1: What is the primary chemical resistance profile of Tecnoflon FOR 5351 U?
A: Tecnoflon FOR 5351 U is a peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer offering excellent resistance to aggressive hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents, and high-temperature oils—particularly suited for demanding automotive and industrial sealing applications where conventional elastomers degrade.
Q2: How does FOR 5351 U differ from standard FKM compounds in terms of processing behavior?
A: As a peroxide-curable grade, FOR 5351 U offers improved scorch safety and extended processing window compared to bisphenol-cured FKMs, enabling more stable extrusion and compression molding—especially beneficial for complex geometries and high-precision seals.
Q3: Is FOR 5351 U suitable for low-temperature dynamic sealing applications?
A: While fluorinated elastomers inherently exhibit higher glass transition temperatures, FOR 5351 U delivers balanced low-temperature flexibility for many static and moderately dynamic service conditions down to approximately –15 °C; performance at lower temperatures should be validated under actual application stress and media exposure.
Q4: Can FOR 5351 U be compounded with standard FKM fillers and processing aids?
A: Yes—FOR 5351 U is compatible with typical FKM-grade carbon blacks, calcium carbonate, and process oils; however, filler selection and curative system must be optimized for peroxide curing to ensure full crosslink density and avoid premature scorch or post-cure shrinkage.
