Material Notes:
3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer BRE 7231 is a Base Resistant Fluoroelastomer containing 60% fluorine. It is a bisphenol cured terpolymer and is categorized as a type 4 FKM per ASTM D1418. This product offers improved resistance to high amine containing oils and lubes, coolants and transmission fluids as compared to Type 1 and Type 2 FKM’s. Possible applications for BRE 7231 are engine, transmission, transfer case or differential shaft seals or as a rubber coating for cylinder head gaskets, where multifluid resistance to engine oils and coolants is requiredComposition: Terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, propylene and vinylidene fluorideImproved resistance to new types of amine containing automotive fluids and other basic chemicalsImproved low temperature sealing performanceApplication targets: bonded shaft seals and other molded goodsExcellent processability and metal adhesionProcess targets: injection, transfer and compression moldingProprietary incorporated cure technologyInformation provided by Dyneon, A 3M Company
