FRS-170 can be readily incorporated into a typical fluoroelastomer compound at the 1-25%
ratio with minimal effect on physical properties or processing.
Use of the FRS-170 has no effect on heat or hydrocarbon resistance.

Because of the morphology of the FRS-170 particle, the recycled elastomer participates in
crosslinking within the polymer matrix. The incorporated particles retain all of their
original flexibility and resistance to exposure to heat, chemicals, hydrocarbons, or other
materials.
FRS-170 has no effect on FUEL PERMEATION and as a result, may be
considered a cost-effective way to compete in the market for PZEV and other low-emissions
vehicles. Compounds up to 85% FRS-170 have passed the fuel permeation test, as tested by a
famous OEM automotive manufacturer.
FRS-170 has been the topic of numerous papers and technical reports. Contact FRS for more
detailed technical information about the FRS product, and how you can reduce costs, be
environmentally responsible, and retain excellent techncial properties using FRS
technology.

The graphics below demonstrate that the FRS material actually becomes an
intimate part of the polymer matrix. The top specimen is a .085 gauge tensile sheet,
composed of a white FKM control compound, and a sample of black FMP/FRS-170.
When the sample is elongated, the particles themselves elongate along with
the normal polymer. This demonstrates that the FMP/FRS-170 has established a crosslink
with the surrounding polymer matrix. This feature is due to the unique product morphology,
a result of the proprietary process.
