Fluorocarbon elastomers are fluorine‐containing cross‐linked amorphous polymers with a carbon–carbon backbone, which are designed for demanding service application in hostile environments. This article reviews the development history of fluorocarbon elastomers and the basic properties of the polymers. A brief manufacturing process for the polymers is presented along with processing information to convert the fluorocarbon elastomers into useful parts for various applications. Major uses and specifications for these uses are also presented.
