Abstract
Ethylene copolymer elastomer compositions, acrylate rubber compositions, nitrile rubber compositions, fluoroelastomer compositions, and chlorinated olefin elastomer compositions are provided which are curable by exposure to UV radiation. The compositions are particularly suited for production of elastomeric seals using hot melt equipment and a gasketing in place technique.
Claims14
A thermally stable, UV curable elastomer composition comprising
- A) 70 to 99 weight percent of a fluoroelastomer having at least one cure site selected from the group consisting of 1) copolymerized brominated olefins, chlorinated olefins and iodinated olefins;
- 2) copolymerized brominated unsaturated ethers, chlorinated unsaturated ethers, and iodinated unsaturated ethers;
- 3) copolymerized non-conjugated dienes and trienes and 4) iodine atoms and bromine atoms and mixtures thereof that are present at terminal positions of the fluoroelastomer chain;
- B) 0.5 to 20 weight percent of a multifunctional crosslinking agent selected from the group consisting of multifunctional acrylic crosslinking agents, multifunctional methacrylic crosslinking agents, multifunctional cyanurate crosslinking agents, and multifunctional isocyanurate crosslinking agents;
- and
- C) 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a UV initiator wherein the weight percentages of each of components A), B), and C) are based on the combined weight of components A), B), and C).
