Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for producing a fluoroelastomer using an emulsifier which is inexpensive and hardly remains in product polymers. The present invention is related to a method for producing a fluoroelastomer, wherein vinylidene fluoride and at least one fluoroolefin monomer other than vinylidene fluoride are copolymerized in the manner of an emulsion polymerization in the presence of an emulsifier represented by C 5 F 11 COOM, wherein M represents H, NH 4 or an alkali metal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene elastomer, comprising step (A) of copolymerizing vinylidene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene in the manner of an emulsion polymerization in the presence of an emulsifier represented by C 5 F 11 COONH 4 , wherein the level of addition of the emulsifier is not lower than 500 ppm and not higher than 4000 ppm, and the polymerization is initiated by a water-soluble radical polymerization initiator. 2. The method for producing a vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene elastomer according to claim 1 , further comprising step (B), following the step (A), of carrying out further emulsion polymerization using an organic peroxide.
