Claims12
A curable precursor composition for a fluoroelastomer comprising
- a) at least one functionalized fluoropolyether containing moieties selected from (—C4F8O—), (—C3F6O—), (—C2F4O—), (—CF2O—) or combinations thereof, wherein the fluoropolyether is functionalised to contain at a terminal position or at a position that is adjacent to the terminal position at least one first functional group, and
- b) one or more coagents comprising at least two second functional groups,
- wherein the first and second functional groups are capable of reacting with each other in a curing reaction to form a fluoroelastomer, and wherein the first functional group is selected from the group consisting of an alkyne unit and a nitrile unit;
- and the second functional group is an azide unit,
- further wherein the composition comprises at least 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition of the functionalized fluoropolyether.
