The aim of this work was a preliminary assessment of the performances of a new, experimental specialty polyurethane fluoroelastomers (FEU) in comparison to commercially available seal materials. Preliminary results gave some positive indications. In particular, the combination of low temperature retraction and good chemical resistance in hydrocarbon fuels of the new compound makes it an interesting candidate for the development of high performance seal materials. On the other hand, issues to be more investigated are the retention of mechanical and viscoelastic properties in the high temperature range and the higher swelling in modified (more polar) fuels, which could be weak points due to the specificity of the urethane linkages.
