AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Cure catalysts, if not chosen properly, may initiate crosslinking too quickly during thermal processing, increasing the viscosity of the composition, which may adversely affect the fluoroelastomer
Increased viscosity can lead to undesired scorch of fluoroelastomers in processing equipment
Selection of a curing catalyst with weak initiation strength can prevent scorch but may adversely affect subsequent molding and physical properties (e.g. compression set of molded articles) due to insufficient crosslinking

example

[0096] Unless otherwise stated, all parts, percentages, ratios, etc. in the examples and in the rest of the specification are by weight, and all reagents used in the examples were obtained or can be obtained from general chemical suppliers (such as Sigma- Aldrich Company (Saint Louis, MO)), or can be synthesized by conventional methods.

[0097] These abbreviations are used in the following examples: g = gram, min = minute, mol = mole; mmol = millimole, phr = part per 100 parts of rubber, hr = hour, °C = degree Celsius, mL = milliliter, L = liter, psi = Pounds per square inch, MPa = Mega Pascal, N-m = Newton-meter.

[0098] The pKa values ​​reported in some instances are from J.Chem.Soc., Perkin Trans.2, 699 (1989) and J.Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans.2, 521 (1990), which are based on organic acids in tetrachloride It is recorded in the form of dissociation constant in dilute solution of carbon dioxide. For the purposes of the present invention, pKa values ​​are determined by meas...

example 1

[0130] Fluoropolymer A (300 g) was banded on a 6 inch two roll mill and allowed to mix for 2 to 3 minutes with the mill spacing set such that the polymer formed an adequate rubbery bank . The amount of Catalyst A shown in Table 1 was slowly added to the rubber stockpile over a period of about 2 minutes. Six transverse cuts (3 on each side) were performed over the course of about 3 to 4 minutes. The compound was then removed from the mill and the spacing was set to the tightest setting. The compound was then passed through the open mill at the tightest setting for 6 or 7 times without forming a belt, which took about 2 to 3 minutes. The compounds were again removed from the mill and allowed to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before testing.

Abstract

The present invention provides compositions comprising a fluoropolymer having interpolymerized units derived from a nitrogen-containing cure site monomer, and a cure catalyst derived from an amidine and a cure catalyst having a pKa value of from about -1 to about 4 acids. The present invention also provides methods of making fluoropolymers and fluoropolymer articles comprising curable or cured fluoropolymer compositions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fluoropolymer compositions having amidine-containing curing agent compounds, scorch resistant curable compositions, and methods of making scorch resistant fluoropolymer compositions. Background technique [0002] Fluoropolymers include, for example, crosslinked fluoroelastomers, curable fluoroelastomer gums, and semicrystalline fluoroplastics. Fluoroelastomers typically withstand high temperatures and harsh chemical environments. They are therefore particularly suitable for use as seals, gaskets and molded parts in systems exposed to high temperatures and / or aggressive chemicals. Such components are used in the automotive industry, chemical processing industry, semiconductor industry, aerospace industry, and petroleum industry, among others. [0003] Fluoroelastomers often contain cure site components that promote cure in the presence of a cure catalyst. The choice of a particular cure catalyst will often depend on t...
