| Food Contact Substance: |
A perfluorocarbon cured elastomer (PCE) produced by terpolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene, (CAS Reg. No. 116-14-3), perfluoro-2,5-dimethyl-3,6-dioxanonane vinyl ether (CAS Reg. No. 2599-84-0), and perfluoro-6,6-dihydro-6-iodo-3-oxa-1-hexene (CAS Reg. No. 106108-22-9), and subsequent curing of the terpolymer (CAS Reg. No. 106108-23-0) with triallylisocyanurate (CAS Reg. No. 1025-15-6) and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane (CAS Reg. No. 78-63-7).

| Limitations/Specifications: |
The perfluorocarbon base polymer shall contain no less than 30 weight percent of polymer units derived from tetrafluoroethylene, no less than 60 weight percent of polymer units derived from perfluoro-2,5-dimethyl-3,6-dioxanonane vinyl ether and no more than 4 weight percent of polymer units derived from perfluoro-6,6-dihydro-6-iodo-3-oxa-1-hexene. The uncured elastomer shall be composed of no more than 6 weight percent of triallylisocyanurate, no more than 5 weight percent of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, and no more than 12 weight percent carbon black (produced by the furnace combustion process) (CAS Reg. No. 1333-86-4). The PCE must meet extractive limitations prescribed in 21 CFR 177.2400(d) Perfluorocarbon cured elastomers.
