Material Substitute for Tecnoflon

I am looking for a material to substitute Tecnoflon PL058 from Solvey Solexis, it is a Fluoroelastomer.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thank you for the info, the problem we have is that it seems there is problems with Solvey, they are not producing or they are saturated, so I am looking for a similar materiual from other supplier or if you know some company who may have an extra Ton of this material.....

I give up. First you say you want us to find for you an exact substitute from Solvay and now you say that you cannot get that substitute from Solvay. That what you really want is for us to find somebody who has a surplus of at least a ton of this rare plastic. Do you also want this to be shipped and gift wrapped for free to your factory?

You wound me.

I'm going back to my libations.

Hmm. I can see how you might interpret the sentence that way.

I read the OP and my thought was "I am looking for a material to substitute Tecnoflon PL058 (Technoflon being manufactured by Solvay Solexis); it is a Fluoroelastomer."

As has been discussed, the online translator machinery occasionally slips a tooth.

We will have to wait for a clarification of this apparent disparity from our OP.

OOOH its a special seal for pneumatic control with special secret properties that you're not going to tell us because its a secret. Since I'm not going to get paid or blamed for anything I offer, I recommend that you use used chewing gum.

Well Patrick, our good deed is done for today. Let's go catch some jellyfish.

You could look to DuPont for their Kalrez range of fluoroelastomers.
