Viton™ FreeFlow™ Z110

Viton™ FreeFlow™ Z110 by Chemours is a polymer processing aid. It combines improved fluoroelastomer rheology with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an inter-facial agent to control the particle size delivered to the die. It reduces or eliminates melt fracture, lowers extrusion pressure and reduces amperage, torque & die buildup. It enhances rates of conditioning during start-up of new formulations on clean dies or purged systems and performance on difficult lines where other process aids require high levels. It increases additive efficiency particularly on lines where frequent formula changes are made or in formulas containing multiple additives, economics and extended running time between die cleanings. It can typically reduce PEG levels in films by a factor of 3. Viton™ FreeFlow™ Z110 is suitable for use in dosage during production of solution LLDPE (either direct or via masterbatch) and high concentration masterbatches (2 to 4% process aid), particularly with LDPE carrier. It also finds application in all extrusion processes (film, pipe) using 3 MI or more LLDPE, LLDPE/LDPE blends or mLLDPE/LDPE blends, extrusion under low shear mixing condition. It is approved for food contact uses and suitable for potable water appliances. The shelf life of this product is 4 years at storage temperature below 27°C.
