Definitions

  • Perfluoroelastomers have achieved outstanding commercial success and are used in a wide variety of applications in which severe environments are encountered, in particular those end uses where exposure to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals occurs. For example, these polymers are often used in seals for aircraft engines, in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, in oil-well drilling devices, and in sealing elements for industrial equipment used at high temperatures.
  • perfluoroelastomers are largely attributable to the stability and inertness of the copolymerized perfluorinated monomer units that make up the major portion of the polymer backbones in these compositions.
  • monomers include tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoro(alkyl vinyl) ethers (PAVE).
  • TFE tetrafluoroethylene
  • PAVE perfluoro(alkyl vinyl) ethers
  • perfluoroelastomers are typically crosslinked, i.e. vulcanized. To this end, a small percentage of cure site monomer is copolymerized with the perfluorinated monomer units.
  • Cure site monomers containing at least one nitrile group for example perfluoro-8-cyano-5-methyl-3,6-dioxa-1-octene, are especially preferred.
  • Such compositions are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,281,092; 4,394,489; 5,789,489; and 5,789,509.
  • the polymerization processes of perfluoroelastomers are most typically done in the presence of a perfluoro carboxylic acid salt or fluorinated sulfonic acid salt. If the salt contains a metal ion, it contaminates the formed polymer. If the salt is a non-metal, usually the resulting pH of the polymerization media is acidic leading to corrosion of polymerization vessel or downstream lines and vessels, and subsequent contamination of the resulting polymer. Further, coagulation of the emulsion or dispersion is usually accomplished by use of magnesium, barium, or other metallic salts resulting in two distinct problems. First, they add metallic contamination to the elastomeric crumb and second, the metallic salts of the perfluoro carboxylic acids become much more difficult to remove from the crumb.
  • the prior art further teaches compounding the perfluorelastomer, for example, on a roll mill, Banbury mixer, extruder, or the like.
  • crosslinking catalysts or other additives may be mixed with the perfluoroelastomer crumb in the melt to facilitate sufficient crosslinking as may be required by the application.
  • one goal may be to attain sufficient crosslinking to achieve good high temperature compression set resistance.
  • Compounding may actually result in the addition of metallic and/or other contaminants by the direct addition via additives; additionally high temperature melt compounding often results in metal contamination by corrosion of the compounding equipment and exposure to environmental contamination. If organic crosslinking agents are used, the resulting articles are usually brown due to thermal decomposition of the agents.
  • Perfluoroelastomer articles such as seals, O-rings, and valve packings are often highly filled with carbon black or metallic fillers for reinforcement rendering them opaque and providing an additional source of contamination.
  • the polymeric component of these articles When exposed to plasmas in end uses such as semiconductor manufacturing, the polymeric component of these articles is etched away, leaving the fillers as undesirable particle contaminants. Furthermore, as the polymer decomposes any fillers such as metals, metal oxides or metal salts originally contained in articles may be released.
  • PFOA perfluoro octanoic acid
  • APFO ammonium perfluoro octanoate
  • one embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing perfluoroelastomer compositions having low metallic ion contamination and low perfluoro carboxylic concentration.
  • This invention relates to crosslinkable perfluoroelastomers and cured perfluoroelastomer articles having low metallic ion concentration and a low concentration of residual fluorosurfactant, and inventive processes for making the same. In the absence of additives, transparent articles having high purity are produced by the methods of the present invention.
  • methods of the present invention minimize contamination in part by minimizing corrosion that results from conventional polymerization processes performed in the presence of perfluorocarboxylic acid salt by using a non-metallic buffer and/or corrosion resistant vessel and/or lines.
  • Corrosion resistant materials useful in the present invention include high Ni alloys, for example, Inconel® or Hastelloy® alloys.
  • Processes of present invention may also solve the problem of contamination encountered by coagulation of the emulsion or dispersion using metallic salts. For example, by using nitric acid (HNO 3 ) or ammonium salts like (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 and NH 4 NO 3 as coagulants, metallic contamination can be minimized or eliminated.
  • perfluoroelastomeric uncrosslinked gum having a low concentration of perfluoro carboxylic acids or salt containing perfluoro cyano vinyl ether crosslink sites, such as 8-CNVE, can be cured in the mold at about 250° C., or greater than 250° C., without a compounding step and without the addition of any other chemicals.
