Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The valve member according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a resin formed product having a crosslinked ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer as a main component, and having a crosslinking density of 85.0 mol/m 3 or more calculated from a storage modulus at 300° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A valve member consisting of a resin formed product, the resin formed product comprising a crosslinked ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer as a main component and having a crosslinking density of 85.0 mol/m 3 or more calculated from a storage modulus at 300° C. wherein the valve member is a valve element, a valve seat or a combination thereof. 2. The valve member according to claim 1 , wherein the resin formed product has a creep strain after being held at 23° C. for 100 hours under a pressure of 13.7 MPa, of 8.0% or less.
