Highlights
  • Offers improved water and steam resistance over conventional fluoroelastomers (FKM)
  • Can be used in blends with fluorosilicone, silicone, EDPM and other peroxide-curable elastomers
  • Used in transfer molding, compression molding and calendering
  • Vulcanization of thick cross-section parts without fissuring
  • Peroxide-curable fluoroelastomer with 65.9% fluorine content

3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer FC 2260 is a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, plus cure site monomer. This fluoroelastomer offers improved water and steam resistance over conventional fluoroelastomers, and can be used in transfer molding, compression molding and calendering. It’s also used in blends with fluorosilicone, silicone, EDPM and other peroxide-curable elastomers.

A Unique FKM

In addition to its improved water and steam resistance, 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomer FC 2260 can be used in blends with fluorosilicone, silicone, EDPM and other peroxide curable elastomers. Additionally, Dyneon fluoroelastomer FC 2260 is capable of vulcanization of thick cross section parts without fissuring.



Dyneon fluoroelastomer FC 2260 can be compounded using standard water cooled internal mixers or two roll mills with standard fillers and ingredients utilized in typical fluoroelastomer (FKM) formulations. The dry ingredients should be blended before adding to the masticated gum. For best results, FC 2260 should be banded on the mill prior to adding the blended dry ingredients. Once mixed, the compounded stocks have good scorch resistance and storage stability.



Different Quantities to Meet the Needs of the Job

Dyneon fluoroelastomer FC 2260 is packaged in slab form 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 Ib (25.0 kg) boxes.
