New fluoropolymers offer unique properties. (Materials).


New fluoropolymer A fluoropolymer is a polymer that contains atoms of fluorine. It is characterized by a high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases.

Fluoropolymers were discovered serendipitously in 1938 by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett.

, in Oakdale, Minn., are said to afford increased design freedom in extrusion and molding. Dyneon LTFE LTFE Long-Term Fertility Experiment  6400X is an extrusion grade said to seal efficiently at temperatures as low as -40 C, thus meeting new design needs in quick-connect seals, gaskets, and O-rings. The resin still retains excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, oils, and fuels in automotive, aerospace, and chemical-processing parts.

 8640X is the initial grade in a novel dipolymer class of fluoroelastomer that incorporates an integral crosslinking system and is designed for injection, compression, and transfer molding Transfer molding, like compression molding, is a process where the amount of molding material (usually a thermoset plastic) is measured and inserted before the moulding takes place. The molding material is preheated and loaded into a chamber known as the pot. . This high-viscosity grade is a dipolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene. It is said to shorten cycle times and enhance surface finish and mold release compared with conventional fluoropolymers. In addition, it reportedly offers excellent compression set, scorch resistance, and curing properties. Tel: (800) 723-9127, www.dyneon.com
