HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL RESISTANT RUBBER COMPOUNDS

Abstract

A study was made of vulcanization processes of fluorinated elastomers. Several model compounds were prepared and their reactions with various amines were examined. Dehydrohalogenation constituted the first step; primary and secondary amines added to the unsaturated centers; mono and diamino compounds were isolated. Differential thermal analysis showed the untreated fluoroelastomers to be more thermally stable than the vulcanized materials. Thermal decomposition of fluorinated compounds proceeded with large energy release. Evaluations of experimental vulcanizates were conducted in fuels (JP-6 and HTF) and air at elevated temperatures (400 - 750 F). Amine and peroxide curing agents were assessed. (Author)
