Although it is a higher-viscosity fluoroelastomer, MIP (Multifunctional Improved Processing) 8640X offers substantially improved flow properties and can easily be injection molded, says Dyneon. The improved flow properties are said to lead to faster mold filling and cycle times, enhanced mold release, and higher extrusion speeds. Fluoroelastomer MIP 8640X also enables smoother, higher-quality surfaces and increased hot tear strength, while maintaining good dimensional stability, the company adds. The first in
