DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a vulcanizable fluororubber composition which gives a colorless cured material.
2. Related Art
In the field of the preparation of a semiconductor, a vulcanized fluororubber is used as a sealing material for an instrument for generating plasma. The conventional sealing material has the problems that the particles are generated and that the leakage is caused by the deterioration of the sealing material. Preferably, the sealing material contains no filler and is transparent so that the dust is visible. However, when the filler is merely excluded, the vulcanized fluororubber becomes transparent brown or opaque brown so that it cannot be transparent colorless.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a fluororubber composition which gives a transparent colorless vulcanized material.
The present invention provide a vulcanizable fluororubber composition comprising: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, in an amount of 0.05 to 5 ppm based on the fluororubber (a).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The iodine- and/or bromine-.containing fluororubber (a) is a polymer in which an iodine and/or bromine atom in an amount of 0.001 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 5% by weight is bonded to a carbon atom of a fluorine-containing polymer. Although the carbon atom to which the iodine and/or bromine atom is bonded is preferably an end of a polymer chain, the present invention is not limited to this so that the carbon atom bonding to the iodine and/or bromine atom may be the carbon atom in the main chain, the branch chain or the branch point.
The iodine- and/or bromine-containing fluororubber (a) means a fluorinated polymer having rubber-like elasticity at a room temperature after the vulcanization. A fluororubber includes any of conventionally known fluororubbers. Typical examples of the fluororubber are fluororubbers such as a vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropylene; polymer (a preferable molar ratio of vinylidene fluoride to hexafluoropropylene is from 45:55 to 95:5), a vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene polymer (a preferable molar ratio of vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene is 25-90:1-35:1-50), a vinylidene fluoride/chlorotrifluoroethylene polymer, a tetrafluoroethylene/propylene polymer, a hexafluoropropylene/ethylene polymer, a perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether (which includes a plural of ether linkages)/olefin (for example, tetrafluoroethylene, ethylene and the like) polymer (a preferable molar ratio of the perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether to the olefin is from 15:85 to 75:25), a fluorosilicone polymer, a fluorophosphazene polymer and the like. The examples of the iodine- and/or bromine-containing fluororubber (a) are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,243,770, 4,035,565 and 4,214,060 (the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference), Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 125491/1978, Japanese Patent Kokoku Publication No. 4115/1978 and Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 20310/1984. The iodine- and/or bromine-containing fluororubber (a) can be prepared by, for example, adding an iodine- and/or bromine-containing compound (for example, ICH.sub.2 CF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 OCF.dbd.CF.sub.2 and the like) to the above monomers (for example, vinylidene fluoride and the like) and conducting the polymerization. The iodine- and/or bromine-containing fluororubber (a) usually has a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,000,000.
The vulcanizing agent (b) is not limited, insofar as it is the organic peroxide. Specific examples of the vulcanizing agent (b) are 1,1-bis(t-butylperoxy)-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-dihydroxyperoxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, t-butyl cumyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, .alpha.,.alpha.-bis(t-butylperoxy)-p-diisopropylbenzene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexyne-3, benzoyl peroxide, t-butylperoxybenzene, 2,5-dimethyl
