TECNOFLON® PL 455 is a new generation low temperature peroxide curable low viscosity fluoroelastomer with 64% wt fluorine content. Tecnoflon® PL 455 exhibits excellent low temperature flexibility (TR10 = -30°C). Like all other Tecnoflon® peroxide curable grades, it exhibits excellent processability; moreover it needs very short post-curing cycles.

Some of the basic properties of Tecnoflon® PL 455 are:

• Excellent low temperature flexibility

• Low post cure

• Superior mold flow

• Lack of mold fouling

• Excellent mold release

Tecnoflon® PL 455 can be used for injection, injection-compression and transfer molding of O-rings, gaskets and seals. Tecnoflon® PL 455 can be combined with the cure system and other typical fluoroelastomer compounding ingredients. Mixing can be accomplished with two-roll mills or internal mixers.
This material can be extruded into hoses or profiles and can be calendered to make sheet stocks or belting. Finished goods may be produced by a variety of rubber processing methods.
