Curable fluoroelastomer compositions
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a curable composition comprising a curable fluoroelastomer, a curative and an acid acceptor selected from the group consisting of a hydrous bismuth oxide nitrate compound and bismuth oxide. Cured articles made therefrom are resistant to volume swell in acids, coolant and in biofuel.
1. A curable fluoroelastomer composition comprising:
A) a curable fluoroelastomer;
B) a curative; and
C) an acid acceptor selected from the group consisting of a hydrous bismuth oxide nitrate compound and bismuth oxide.
2. The curable fluoroelastomer composition of claim 1 wherein said acid acceptor is a hydrous bismuth oxide nitrate compound.
3. The curable fluoroelastomer composition of claim 1 wherein said acid acceptor is bismuth oxide.
4. The curable fluoroelastomer composition of claim 1 wherein said curative is a polyhydroxy compound.
5. The curable fluoroelastomer composition of claim 1 wherein said curative is a diamine.
6. The curable fluoroelastomer composition of claim 1 wherein said curative is an organic peroxide.
