You are correct. It is duPont.

It is a trademark for a series of fluoroelastomers based on the
copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene with the
repeating structure of

-CF2-CH2-CF2-CF(CF3)-

Resistant to corrosive liquids and chemicals up to 600 F. Useful
continuous service at 400-450 F. Resistant to ozone, weather, flame,
oils, fuels, lubricants, and many solvents.

Uses.... Gaskets, seals, diaphragms, tubing, aerospace and automotive
components, high vacuum equipment, low temperature and radiation
equipment.

I don't know of any solvent which will dissolve it.
