Solvay Tecnoflon FOR 7352 FKM Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What distinguishes Tecnoflon FOR 7352 from other FKM elastomers in the Tecnoflon portfolio?

A: Tecnoflon FOR 7352 is a specialty fluoroelastomer formulated with a balanced combination of fluorine content and cure-site chemistry to deliver enhanced resistance to aggressive polar solvents, low-temperature flexibility, and improved processability—particularly for demanding dynamic sealing applications in automotive and industrial fluid systems.


Q2: Is Tecnoflon FOR 7352 suitable for contact with fuels, biofuels, and modern engine oils?

A: Yes—Tecnoflon FOR 7352 exhibits excellent resistance to conventional hydrocarbon fuels, ethanol- and biodiesel-blended fuels (e.g., E85, B20), and advanced low-SAPS engine oils, making it well-suited for fuel system seals, injector O-rings, and turbocharger hose components where long-term dimensional stability and compression set resistance are critical.


Q3: How does the processing behavior of Tecnoflon FOR 7352 compare to standard peroxide-curable FKMs?

A: Tecnoflon FOR 7352 is designed for efficient peroxide curing and offers good scorch safety, consistent extrudability, and uniform crosslink density development during vulcanization—enabling reliable high-speed production of precision-molded and extruded parts without compromising final physical properties.


Q4: Can Tecnoflon FOR 7352 be used in applications requiring compliance with food-contact or pharmaceutical regulations?

A: Tecnoflon FOR 7352 is not pre-certified for food or pharmaceutical contact. While its base polymer composition meets general purity expectations for high-performance elastomers, end-use compliance depends on the full compound formulation—including curatives, fillers, and processing aids—as well as final validation under applicable regional regulatory frameworks.
