Solvay Tecnoflon T 636 FKM Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What distinguishes Tecnoflon T 636 from other FKM elastomers in terms of processing and cure behavior?

A: Tecnoflon T 636 is a low-viscosity, peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer designed for improved processability—particularly in high-shear mixing and extrusion—while maintaining excellent thermal and chemical resistance. Its formulation enables faster scorch safety and more consistent crosslink density compared to conventional bisphenol-cured FKMs.


Q2: Is Tecnoflon T 636 suitable for applications requiring resistance to aggressive automotive fluids and high-temperature exposure?

A: Yes—Tecnoflon T 636 delivers outstanding resistance to modern engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluids (including DOT 4 and DOT 5.1), and hot air up to 200 °C continuous service. It is widely specified in under-hood sealing components where long-term stability in dynamic, high-stress environments is critical.


Q3: Can Tecnoflon T 636 be compounded with standard FKM fillers and processing aids?

A: Yes—it is fully compatible with common FKM compounding ingredients such as carbon black, calcium carbonate, and silica, as well as standard peroxide initiators and co-agents. However, optimal dispersion and cure balance require adjustment of mixing sequence and temperature profile to match its lower Mooney viscosity.


Q4: How does Tecnoflon T 636 perform in static versus dynamic sealing applications?

A: It excels in both regimes: its low compression set and high resilience support reliable static sealing over extended periods, while its fatigue resistance and retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures make it well-suited for dynamic seals such as shaft lip seals and valve stem seals in demanding industrial and transportation systems.
