Four propyl fluoroelastomer, a scientific name tetrafluoroethylene propylene copolymer elastomer, is a copolymer made from tetrafluoroethylene and propylene by emulsion polymerization. It is a kind of fluoroelastomer. Tetrafluoropropylene rubber is non-toxic, odorless, self extinguishing, stable in physical and chemical properties. It has excellent high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, water vapor resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, electrical insulation and low permeability. It has long service life and can be widely used in aerospace, oil and gas exploitation, machinery manufacturing and other fields.

Tetrafluoropropylene rubber has good high temperature resistance and can work at 200 ℃ for a long time; Good oil resistance, good stability for fuel oil, lubricating oil, mineral oil, etc; It is resistant to chemical corrosion, strong acid, alkali and oxidant. Tetrafluoropropylene rubber has excellent properties and can be used in harsh conditions. Compared with other fluororubber, Tetra propylene fluororubber has more excellent processing performance. It can be used to make sealing ring, sealing plug, gasket, diaphragm, hose, anti-corrosion lining, plate, roller, wire and other products by molding, extrusion and other molding methods.

In the 1940s, fluororubber was developed and developed. With the continuous progress of technology, the variety of its products is increasing. Tetrapropylene fluororubber is a kind of polyolefin fluororubber in fluororubber, which belongs to a new type of fluororubber products. It began to develop in the 1960s, and entered the industrialization stage in the late 1970s. Asahi Nippon is the first company in the world to develop tetrafluoropropylene rubber, and also the first company to produce tetrafluoropropylene rubber products in a commercial way. Its trade name of tetrafluoropropylene rubber is aflas. In addition to Asahi nitzsch, Japanese manufacturers of tetrafluoropropylene rubber also include Japanese synthetic rubber company.

The research on the technology of tetrafluoropropylene rubber in China started in the 1970s. It was first developed by Shanghai Institute of organic fluorine materials and put into production in the 1980s. At present, China's tetrafluoropropylene rubber production enterprises include Chengdu Senfa rubber and Plastic Co., Ltd., Shanghai sanaifu New Material Co., Ltd., Shanghai Daofu Industrial Co., Ltd., etc.

According to the report of in-depth market research and investment strategy suggestions of tetrafluoropropylene rubber industry from 2021 to 2025 released by new thinking Industry Research Center, in 2019, the global fluororubber market scale is about US $950 million, and it is expected to reach US $1.08 billion by 2025. As a kind of fluororubber, Tetra propylene fluororubber is a new fluororubber product with better comprehensive performance, and its market space is expanding. However, compared with fluororubber 26, fluororubber 246 and other polyolefin fluororubber, the production strength of China's tetrapropylene fluororubber is weak, which leads to its narrow application field. At present, the market share of tetrapropylene fluororubber in China's fluororubber is relatively small, and there is still room for further improvement in the future.

According to industry analysts of xinsijie, tetrapropyl fluororubber is a new type of fluororubber product with excellent physical and chemical properties and processing properties. It can produce a variety of products and is applied in aerospace, oil and gas exploitation, machinery, automobile, chemical, electrical and other industries with large market space. At the present stage, the number of global tetrafluoropropylene rubber production enterprises is small, the annual output is small, and its application field has not been fully expanded. In the future, if the output rises and the price falls, the application scope will continue to expand.
