DuPont Elastomers Viton® FreeFlow™ RC Process Aid

Subcategory: Fluoropolymer; Additive/Filler for Polymer; Thermoplastic

Close Analogs: This former DuPont Dow Elastomers product line is now produced by DuPont Performance Elastomers.

Material Notes:
Description: Viton® FreeFlow™ RC is a new processing additive for narrow molecular weight LLDPE. This material will eliminate melt fracture, lower extrusion pressure, reduce extrusion torque, and reduce die buildup. Viton® FreeFlow™ RC combines a lubricant to accelerate die conditioning with the die cleaning properties of Viton® FreeFlow™ SC. This combination provides a highly efficient processing additive when rapid die conditioning is required. Viton® FreeFlow™ RC also incorporates improved chemistry to reduce interactions with other formulation ingredients. It is a superior choice for making combined masterbatches with pigments or antiblock. Due to the low lubricant level, no effects on surface properties of the finished products are expected.

Advantages:

• Improved rates of conditioning when starting up new formulations on clean dies or purged systems
• Improved additive efficiency particularly on lines where frequent formula changes are made or in formulas containing multiple additives
• Extended running time between die cleanings
• Improved performance in combined masterbatches with pigments
• Improved economics
• Approved for food contact and potable water applications
• Simplified analytical procedures for quality control
