3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer FE 5730

Chemical and Temperature Resistance
3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer FE 5730 is a terpolymer of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene. Dyneon fluoroelastomer FE 5730 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, FE 5730 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.


Dyneon fluoroelastomer FE 5730 has high fluorine content (69.2%), but lower fluorine than similar products like 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer FE 5830Q. This product has an incorporated cure technology that may help save time and increase throughput. In addition, this product produces smooth extrudates without the use of processing aids, and can be formulated to yield good permeation resistance to automotive fuels.


The benefits don’t end there; Dyneon fluoroelastomer FE 5730 has low permeation and offers very good chemical and temperature resistance to create durable and long lasting finished products, such as mandrel bend fuel hoses formulated to meet 40°C ( 40°F) specifications.

The Right Size to Fit the Job
This product is sold in different sizes, so compounders and formulators can pick the right size for the job. Dyneon fluoroelastomer FE 5730 is packaged in milled slab form (as opposed to unmilled forms like crumb) and is available in a returnable bulk shipping container system for 1,320 Ibs (600 kg) of material. The bulk container system is comprised of 48 individual polyethylene bags containing 27.5 Ibs (12.5 kg) of product. Smaller quantities are available in 55.1 Ibs (25.0 kg) boxes.
