Compositions of fluoroelastomers containing copolymerized units of
tetrafluoroethylene, propylene, a first cure site selected from the group
consisting of i) trifluoroethylene, ii) 3,3,3-trifluoropropene-1, iii)
1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylene, iv) 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylene, and
v) 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and a second cure site selected from the
group consisting of i) copolymerized units of a brominated cure site
monomer, ii) copolymerized units of an iodinated cure site monomer, iii)
copolymerized units of a chlorinated cure site monomer, iv) brominated
endgroups, v) iodinated endgroups and vi) a combination of any of i)-v)
are readily curable with polyhydroxy curing systems. The resulting cured
articles have a combination of excellent resistance to alkaline fluids,
superior tensile properties and compression set resistance, and excellent
adhesion to metal substrates. Optionally, the fluoroelastomers may be
dual cured by both a polyhydroxy system and an organic peroxide system.
