==Articles Formed From Fluorine-Containing Elastomer Compositions Using Additive Manufacturing Methods and Additive Manufacturing Methods for Thermoset Elastomer Compositions - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286347 titled 'Articles Formed From Fluorine-Containing Elastomer Compositions Using Additive Manufacturing Methods and Additive Manufacturing Methods for Thermoset Elastomer Compositions

The patent application describes an apparatus for extruding curable polymers to form elastomer articles using additive manufacturing, along with curable fluorine-containing polymer compositions suitable for this purpose.

* The innovation involves using a curable fluoropolymer composition in an additive manufacturing printer apparatus with a ram material extruder and a printer nozzle.
* The method includes introducing the curable fluoropolymer composition to the extruder, applying heat to the ram device, and extruding the composition under pressure to form fluorine-containing elastomer articles.
* By printing layers of the extruded composition onto a substrate, the technology enables the creation of fluorine-containing elastomer articles.
