Abstract
► Production of thin fluoroelastomer profiles by cold feed extrusion and continuous cure involving microwave and hot air heating. ► Use of peroxide curing in air during production. ► Use of fluoroelastomers based on advanced polymer architecture (APA) for the production of profiles. ► Use of the profiles in inflatable seals for critical application of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor. ► Tailoring of material formulation by synchronized optimization of material and production technologies to ensure that the produced seal ensures significant gains in terms of performance and safety in reactor under synergistic influences of temperature, radiation, air and sodium aerosol.
