Chemical structure
Fluorocarbon elastomers are synthesized from a limited number of organic monomers, mainly highly fluorinated entities:
propylene hexafluoride – HFP ;
vinylidene fluoride – VF 2 ;
tetrafluoroethylene – TFE;
perfluoromethylvinyl ether – PMVE.
But also :
suppliers of vulcanization sites for crosslinking by organic peroxide/coagent systems;
propylene to facilitate processing.
The two main categories of elastomers marketed are as follows.

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.
