Viton™ FreeFlow™ 5500

Viton™ FreeFlow™ 5500 by Chemours is a general-purpose, easily dispersible, fluoroelastomer-based, polymer processing aid combined with a synergist (PEG). It helps in reducing die build-up, die-pressure, amperage, torque, melt fracture and extrusion pressure, which contribute to higher output and quality products. It is used for low concentration masterbatches (typically, 2-3% process aid) in LLDPE carrier with MI of 2 or more and can also be used in highly-concentrated masterbatch. Recommended direct dosage during production of gas phase LLDPE (1.0 MI or more), solution phase LLDPE (either direct or via masterbatch) and all extrusion processes using LLDPE, mLLDPE or HDPE, LLDPE/LDPE blends, or LLDPE/LDPE blends, including pigment or anti-blocking agent. It is suitable for potable water appliances and approved for food contact. The shelf life of Viton™ FreeFlow™ 5500 is 4 years at storage temperature below 27°C.
