Viton™ GF-600S* is a next generation, easy processing, peroxide-cured 70% fluorine fluoroelastomer based on new Advanced Polymer Architecture (APA). Viton™ GF-600S exhibits improved processability coupled with similar or improved fluids resistance in aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, methanol, water, steam, and acids.
Features
• Cures exceptionally fast to a high state of cure
• Exhibits improved mold flow, less shear sensitivity, and lower extruder die swell for a ~65 Mooney FKM
• Exhibits excellent physical properties with high elongation, both original and aged
• Exhibits excellent compression set resistance with short (2 hr) or no post-cure
Processing
A load factor of >70% for internal mixing of Viton™ GF-600S is recommended. The recommended process aids for Viton™ GF-600S are 1 phr of Struktol® HT 290 or combinations of 0.5 phr Armeen® 18D with carnauba wax or Struktol® WS 280. Viton™ Curative No. 7 (VC-7) coagent is recommended for all Viton™ GF-600S compounds. Use at a 2.5 phr level or less is generally satisfactory, unless high modulus is needed. At higher levels, VC-7 can bleed out and cause molding flaws.
