FLUOROCARBON POLYMER COMPOSITION

A composition for radiation crosslinking is based on a fluorocarbon polymer (such as tefzel) that can be melt fabricated and has a melting point or softening range above 200 DEG C. A polyunsaturated crosslinking promoter (such as TAIC) is used, and an anti-oxidant (such as hydroquinone) is added in...

Zusammenfassung:A composition for radiation crosslinking is based on a fluorocarbon polymer (such as tefzel) that can be melt fabricated and has a melting point or softening range above 200 DEG C. A polyunsaturated crosslinking promoter (such as TAIC) is used, and an anti-oxidant (such as hydroquinone) is added in an amount sufficient to substantially prevent any oxidative polymerisation of the promoter at temperatures at least up to the melting point/softening range of the polymer for a minimum of 15 mins. Surprisingly the quantities of anti-oxidant required to substantially eliminate oxidative polymerisation do not prevent radiation crosslinking of the composition nor seriously reduce its efficiency.
