Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a process for the manufacture of a fluoroelastomer composition containing fluoropolymer fibrils. The process comprises applying shear to a fluoroelastomer gum in a mixer while adding a liquid dispersion of fibrillatable fluoropolymer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for manufacture of a fluoroelastomer composition containing fluoroplastic fibrils, said process comprising: A) applying shear to a fluoroelastomer gum in a mixer; and B) adding a liquid dispersion of fibrillatable fluoroplastic particles to said fluoroelastomer gum while applying shear in said mixer, thereby forming a fluoroelastomer composition containing fluoroplastic fibrils dispersed therein. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said fluoroplastic particles have a d90 less than 5 microns. 3. The process of claim 2 wherein said fluoroplastic particles have a d90 less than 0.5 microns and a d50 less than 0.3 microns. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein said fluoroplastic fibrils have a width less than 100 nm. 5. A fluoroelastomer composition made by the process of claim 1 . 6. A cured fluoroelastomer article made from the composition of claim 5 .
