Hexafluoropropylene

A number of friction studies have been carried out on organic polymers in recent years. Coefficients of friction are for the most part in the normal range, with values about as expected from Eq. XII-5. The detailed results show some serious complications, however. First, n is very dependent on load, as illustrated in Fig. XlI-5, for a copolymer of hexafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene [31], and evidently the area of contact is determined more by elastic than by plastic deformation. The difference between static and kinetic coefficients of friction was attributed to transfer of an oriented film of polymer to the steel rider during sliding and to low adhesion between this film and the polymer surface. Tetrafluoroethylene (Telfon) has a low coefficient of friction, around 0.1, and in a detailed study, this lower coefficient and other differences were attributed to the rather smooth molecular profile of the Teflon molecule [32]. [Pg.441]

Certain CFCs are used as raw materials to manufacture key fluorinated olefins to support polymer apphcations. Thermolysis of HCFC-22 affords tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene [116-15 ] under separate processing conditions. Dechlorination of CFC-113 forms chlorotrifluoroethylene [79-38-9]. Vinyhdene fluoride [75-38-7] is produced by the thermal cracking of HCFC-142b. [Pg.269]

Perfluoropolyethers emerged on the market ia the early 1970s however, for the next 15 years there were only two basic stmctures known. The first perfluoropolyether was the homopolymer of hexafluoropropylene oxide produced by Du Pont having the stmcture... [Pg.278]

Hydrocarbon Polymers. It is difficult to produce perfluorocarbon polymers by the usual methods. Many monomers, such as hexafluoropropylene, polymerize only slowly because of the steric hindrance of fluorine. Furthermore, some monomers are not very stable and are difficult to synthesize. Direct fluorination can be used for the direct synthesis of fluorocarbon polymers (68—70) and for producing fluorocarbon coatings on the surfaces of hydrocarbon polymers (8,29,44—47,49,68—71). [Pg.279]

Perfluoroepoxid.es were first prepared ia the late 1950s by Du Pont Co. Subsequent work on these compounds has taken place throughout the world and is the subject of a number of reviews (1 5). The main use of these epoxides is as intermediates in the preparation of other fluorinated monomers. Although the polymerisation of the epoxides has been described (6—12), the resulting homopolymers and their derivatives are not significant commercial products. Almost all the work on perfluoroepoxides has been with three compounds tetrafluoroethylene oxide (TFEO), hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO), and perfluoroisobutylene oxide (PIBO). Most of this work has dealt with HFPO, the most versatile and by far the most valuable of this class of materials (4). [Pg.301]

Reaction of perfluoroaLkenes and hypochlorites has been shown to be a general synthesis of perfluoroepoxides (32) (eq. 7). This appears to be the method of choice for the preparation of epoxides from internal fluoroalkenes (38). Excellent yields of HFPO from hexafluoropropylene and sodium hypochlorite using phase-transfer conditions are claimed (34). [Pg.304]

Hexafluoropropylene Oxide HFPO is the most important of the perfluoroepoxides and has been synthesized by almost all of the methods noted. Many attempts have been made to polymerize HFPO (6,8). The most successful has been the reaction of HFPO with fluoride ion at low temperature to give a series of oligomeric acid fluorides which have been end capped to yield stable fluids (eq. 11, where X = H,F). [Pg.304]

Materials of this type have been sold by Du Pont Co. under the Freon E and Krytox trademarks. Perfluorinated materials stmcturaEy similar to those in equation 11 have been prepared by Ausimont by the low temperature irradiation of either hexafluoropropylene or tetrafluoroethylene with oxygen followed by heating and/or irradiation and have been sold as Fomblin Hquids (52). An isomeric polyether, Demnum, prepared by the oligomerization of 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorooxetane followed by fluorination has been commercialized by Daikin (eq. 12). [Pg.304]

Prepa.ra.tlon There are five methods for the preparation of long-chain perfluorinated carboxyUc acids and derivatives electrochemical fluorination, direct fluorination, telomerization of tetrafluoroethylene, oligomerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide, and photooxidation of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. [Pg.310]

Photooxidation of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HEP) yield peroxides that can be decomposed to esters and ultimately long-chain ether-containing carboxyUc acids. Equation 6 shows a simplified version of what occurs during photooxidation and workup (TFE R = F,... [Pg.311]

Fluorinated ether-containing dicarboxyhc acids have been prepared by direct fluorination of the corresponding hydrocarbon (17), photooxidation of tetrafluoroethylene, or by fluoride ion-cataly2ed reaction of a diacid fluoride such as oxalyl or tetrafluorosuccinyl fluorides with hexafluoropropylene oxide (46,47). Equation 8 shows the reaction of oxalyl fluoride with HEPO. A difunctional ether-containing acid fluoride derived from HEPO contains regular repeat units of perfluoroisopropoxy group and is terminated by two alpha-branched carboxylates. [Pg.312]

A large number of by-products are formed in this process, mostly in trace amounts more significant quantities are obtained of hexafluoropropylene, perfluorocyclobutane, l-chloro-l,l,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, and 2-chloro-l,l,l,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane. Small amounts of highly toxic perfluoroisobutylene, CF2=C(CF2)2, are formed by the pyrolysis of chlorodifluoromethane. [Pg.348]

RO—CF=CF2, are obtained by reaction with sodium salts of alcohols (26). An osone—TFE reaction is accompanied by chemiluminescence (27). Dimerization at 600°C gives perfluorocyclobutane, C Fg further heating gives hexafluoropropylene, CF2=CFCF2, and eventually perfluoroisobutylene, CF2=C(CF2)2 (28). Purity is deterrnined by both gas—Hquid and gas—soHd chromatography the in spectmm is complex and therefore of no value. [Pg.349]

Uses. Besides polymerizing TFE to various types of high PTEE homopolymer, TEE is copolymerized with hexafluoropropylene (29), ethylene (30), perfluorinated ether (31), isobutylene (32), propylene (33), and in some cases it is used as a termonomer (34). It is used to prepare low molecular weight polyfluorocarbons (35) and carbonyl fluoride (36), as well as to form PTEE m situ on metal surfaces (37). Hexafluoropropylene [116-15-4] (38,39), perfluorinated ethers, and other oligomers are prepared from TEE. [Pg.349]

Peifluorinated ethylene—piopjiene (FEP) lesin [25067-11-2] is a copolymer of tetiafluoioethylene [116-14-3] (TFE) and hexafluoiopiopylene [116-15-4] (HEP) thus its blanched stmctuie contains units of —CF2—CF2— and units of —CF2—CF(CF2)—. It retains most of the desirable characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) but with a melt viscosity low enough for conventional melt processing. The introduction of hexafluoropropylene lowers the melting point of PTFE from 325°C to about 260°C. [Pg.358]

Hexafluoropropylene—tetrafluoroethylene copolymers are available in low melt viscosity, extmsion grade, intermediate viscosity, high melt viscosity, and as dispersions. The low melt viscosity (MV) resin can be injection molded by conventional thermoplastic molding techniques. It is more suitable for injection molding than other FEP resins (51). [Pg.359]

Preparation. The preparation of tetrafluoroethylene has been described previously. Perfluorovinyl ethers (4—7) are prepared by the following steps. Hexafluoropropylene [116-15-4] (HEP) is oxidized to an epoxide HEPO [428-59-1] (5) which, on reaction with perfluorinated acyl fluorides, gives an alkoxyacyl fluoride. [Pg.373]

Properties. Properties of perfluoropropyl vinyl ether [1623-05-8] (PPVE), a colorless, odorless Hquid (mol wt 266) are shown in Table 1. Perfluoropropyl vinyl ether is an extremely flammable Hquid and bums with a colorless flame. It is significantly less toxic than hexafluoropropylene the average lethal concentration (ALC) is 50,000 ppm (10). [Pg.373]

Uses. Vinyhdene fluoride is used for the manufacture of PVDF and for copolymerization with many fluorinated monomers. One commercially significant use is the manufacture of high performance fluoroelastomers that include copolymers of VDF with hexafluoropropylene (HFP) (62) or chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) (63) and terpolymers with HEP and tetrafluoroethylene (TEE) (64) (see Elastomers, synthetic-fluorocarbon elastomers). There is intense commercial interest in thermoplastic copolymers of VDE with HEP (65,66), CTEE (67), or TEE (68). Less common are copolymers with trifluoroethene (69), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropene (70), or hexafluoroacetone (71). Thermoplastic terpolymers of VDE, HEP, and TEE are also of interest as coatings and film. A thermoplastic elastomer that has an elastomeric VDE copolymer chain as backbone and a grafted PVDE side chain has been developed (72). [Pg.386]

Many cellular plastics that have not reached significant commercial use have been introduced or their manufacture described in Hterature. Examples of such polymers are chlorinated or chlorosulfonated polyethylene, a copolymer of vinyUdene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, polyamides (4), polytetrafluoroethylene (5), styrene—acrylonitrile copolymers (6,7), polyimides (8), and ethylene—propylene copolymers (9). [Pg.403]

In the late 1950s, the copolymers of vinyUdene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, CF2=CFCF3, were developed on a commercial scale by 3M (Fluorel) and by Du Pont (Viton) (5—8). In the 1960s, terpolymers of vinyUdene fluoride, hexafluoropropylene, and tetrafluoroethylene, CF2=CF2, were developed (9) and were commercialized by Du Pont as Viton B. At about the same time, Montedison developed copolymers of vinyUdene fluoride and 1-hydropentafluoropropylene as well as terpolymers of these monomers with tetrafluoroethylene, marketed as Tecnoflon polymers (10,11). [Pg.508]

Copolymers of propylene and tetrafluoroethylene, which are sold under the Aflas trademark by 3M, have been added to the fluorocarbon elastomer family (21—26). Also 3M has introduced an incorporated cure copolymer of vinyUdene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene and propylene under the trademark Fluorel 11 (27). These two polymers (Aflas and Fluorel 11) do not contain hexafluoropropylene. The substitution of hexafluoropropylene with propylene is the main reason why these polymers show excellent resistance toward high pH environments (28). Table 1 Hsts the principal commercial fluorocarbon elastomers in 1993. [Pg.508]

They show good to excellent resistance to highly aromatic solvents, polar solvents, water and salt solutions, aqueous acids, dilute alkaline solutions, oxidative environments, amines, and methyl alcohol. Care must be taken in choice of proper gum and compound. Hexafluoropropylene-containing polymers are not recommended for use in contact with ammonia, strong caustic (50% sodium hydroxide above 70°C), and certain polar solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone and low molecular weight esters. However, perfluoroelastomers can withstand these fluids. Propylene-containing fluorocarbon polymers can tolerate strong caustic. [Pg.509]
