Technology of Processing of Fluorel with Metallic Oxides and
It’s Resistance toward Active Fluids

Abstract:
Fluorocarbon polymers are the best elastomers for a variety of
applications.
In this work we investigate the characteristics of fluorocarbon rubber for
use in different applications, via preparation different formulations. We
investigate the effect of added metallic oxides ( CaO, MgO, ZnO and PbO )
on the chemical and physical properties of prepared formulations.
Chemical resistance tests were made for conc. H2SO4, conc. HCl, conc.
HNO3, ASTM Oil No.2, ASTM Ref. Fuel C and conc. NaOH solution.
Results showed that the prepared fluorocarbon rubber have high chemical
resistance to various acids, alkalis, oils and fuels, also chemical resistance
towards conc. HNO3 is enhanced in the presence of lead oxide.
