3. General properties
Fluorocarbon elastomers have a number of similar functional properties but also some disadvantages, for example:
thermal stability ;
resistance to natural ageing, light and ozone ;
chemical stability with respect to many products ;
acceptable mechanical properties ;
intrinsic resistance to combustion ;
electrical insulation capacity ;
high cost ;
high density ;
limited resistance to low temperatures ;
sensitivity to some products ;
high fluoride content.

Examples of trade names and producers
Table 2 gives some examples of trade names and producers of fluoro- and perfluorocarbon elastomers.
As a reminder, Sifel, a hybrid organosilicone elastomer produced by Shin-Etsu, is already available.
