Description
Fluoroelastomers Handbook: The Definitive User's Guide and Databook is a comprehensive reference on fluoroelastomer chemistry, processing
technology, and applications. This is a must-have reference for materials scientists and engineers in the automotive, aerospace, chemical,
chemical process, and power generation industries. Fluoroelastomers meet rigorous performance requirements in harsh environments, enhancing
reliability, safety, and environmental friendliness. Fluoroelastomers are growing as products of choice for critical components such
as O-rings, hoses, and seals in hostile fluid and temperature conditions.
The first part of this book is an overview of fluorocarbon
elastomers, including descriptions of the nature of fluoroelastomers, properties of various compositions, developmental history, and
major uses. The second part provides more details of fluoroelastomer technology, including monomer properties and synthesis, polymerization
and production processes, cure systems, and processing methods. The third and last part covers fluid resistance of various fluoroelastomer
families, major applications of fluoroelastomers, and safety and disposal.
Audience
Elastomers engineers, formulators, parts fabricators, materials scientists, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and plastics engineers
in industry (automotive, aerospace, chemical, chemical process, and power).
