A peroxide-curable fluorine-containing elastomer composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a fluorine-containing block polymer comprising at least one elastomeric polymer chain segment and at least one non-elastomeric polymer chain segment in which the content of said non-elastomeric polymer chain segment is less than 5% by weight, 0.05 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.3 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight, of an organic peroxide, and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 8 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, of a polyfunctional co-crosslinking agent. This composition has improved processing properties during curing and molding, while it has good tensile properties, heat resistance, oil resistance and high temperature sealing properties comparable to those of conventional peroxide-curable fluorine-containing elastomer compositions. |
