FLUORO-ACRYLATEPOLYMER

Chemical Properties

Two fluoroacrylate elastomers have been produced commercially on a very limited scale, namely poly(l,l-dihydroperfluorobutyl acrylate) (XIII) and poly(3-perfluoromethoxy-l,1-dihydroperfluoropropyl acrylate) (XIV).
The two polymers have similar properties with the latter having better low temperature properties. In general, the polymers are inferior to the vinylidene fluoride copolymers described previously. However, they do show superior resistance to synthetic diester lubricants used in jet engines.
