3M™ Dyneon™ Flouroelastomer FC 2177 is a composition of di-polymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene. Product characteristics include:
Medium viscosity
Process targets: compression and transfer molding, bonding and calendering
Excellent compression set resistance
Excellent hot tear strength for removing complex parts fro mold (such as shaft seals)
Proprietary incorporated cure technology
Dyneon FC 2177 can be compounded using standard water cooled internal mixers or two-roll mills with standard fillers and ingredients utilized in typical fluoroelastomer formulations. The “dry” ingredients should be blended before adding to the masticated gum. For best results, FC 2177 should be banded on the mill several minutes prior to adding the blended dry ingredients. Once mixed, the compounded stocks have good scorch resistance and storage stability.
