Fluoroelastomers. (Materials).

Fluoroelastomer MIP 8640X is said to offer faster curing and more versatility during processing, advantages made possible by the company's proprietary MIP (multifunctional improved processing) technology. Although it is a higher-viscosity fluoroelastomer, MIP 8640X is said to offer substantially improved flow properties and can easily be rejection molded, according to the company. The improved flow properties are said to lead to faster mold filling and cycle times, enhanced mold release and higher extrusion speeds. MIP 8640X is also said to enable smoother, higher quality surfaces and increased hot tear strength, while maintaining excellent dimensional stability, according to the manufacturer. These advanced product properties are said to offer additional flexibility when designing new injection molding tools. (Dyneon LLC, 6744 33rd St., N., Oakdale, MN 55128)
