Disclosed is a melt processible semicrystalline fluoropolymer comprising:
(a) about 2 to about 20 weight percent of repeating units arising from
hexafluoropropylene; (b) about 0.001 to about 1 weight percent of
repeating units arising from a hydrocarbon monomer having a carboxyl
group and a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond; and (c) the
remaining weight percent of repeating units arising from
tetrafluoroethylene. This melt processible semicrystalline fluoropolymer
is impermeable to fuels and is useful as a lining for petroleum fuel
tubing, as well as chemical resistance coating for, or adhesive between,
perfluoropolymer and other polymers, metals and inorganics.
