DuPont Mobility and Materials VTR 8550 (GFLT-S) Peroxide Cured Fluoroelastomer (FKM) Formulation (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Fluoropolymer, TS; Thermoset Fluoroelastomer; Rubber or Thermoset Elastomer (TSE)
Material Notes:	VTR-8550 is 67% fluorine peroxide cured polymer similar to Viton® GFLT with significantly improved processing and curing characteristics. VTR-8550 utilizes an Advanced Polymer Architecture technology designed to deliver a polymer which: Cures exceptionally fast to a high state of cure Shows improved mold release/mold fouling properties compared to GFLT or GFLT-300 Shows improved mold flow, less shear sensitivity, and lower extruder die swell in a ~60 Mooney FKM Shows excellent physical properties with high elongation in either the original or aging tests Shows similar to improved heat, fluids, and low temperature resistance compared to GFLT Shows excellent compression set resistance with little (2 hr at 232°C) or no postcure It is recommended to use at least a 70% load factor in an internal mixer. The recommended process aid for VTR-8550 is 0.5 phr of Armeen® 18D. A two part process aid system of Armeen® 18D with Strucktol WS 280 at 0.8 phr each is optimal if that level of process aid can be tolerated in mold shrinkage. The use of Diak™ #8 is NOT recommended as it causes poor mold release and high compression set. Information provided by manufacturer.
