DYNAMAR FX 9613

Product Details

3M™ Dynamar™ Polymer Processing Additive FX 9613 is a free-flowing granular form of fluoropolymer. This PPA is designed for use at low levels to improve the processing of thermoplastics. The processing additive reduces or eliminates die build-up, melt fracture, waste and equipment downtime.

At the low use levels (typically 400 —1000 ppm) necessary to improve processing, 3M™ Dynamar™ Polymer Processing Additive FX 9613 does not alter or detract from the mechanical properties associated with high strength plastics. Dynamar FX 9613 exhibits exceptional commercial utility in low melt index film grade polyolefins such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and higher molecular weight, high-density polyethylene (HMW-HDPE) resins. This product is especially effective in polyolefin resins containing basic additives, such as hindered amine light stabilizers. 

As a polymer processing additive, Dynamar FX 9613 can reduce or eliminate melt fracture and can reduce extruder torque. Through optimization of the extrusion process, the use of Dynamar FX 9613 may also allow an increase in output and yield films with enhanced and balanced bi-directional physical properties and improved clarity and gloss. It can also be used at low levels to reduce extruder die build-up when processing linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and other polyolefin resins. Dynamar FX 9613 reduces extrusion pressure and permits processors to use high strength resins which otherwise could not be processed on available equipment. With the aid of this product, fabricators can produce films and other articles of improved strength and quality.
