3M™ Dynamar™ High Performance Rubber Additive RA 5300
- 3M Product Number RA 5300
- 3M ID B40070182
Details
Highlights
- High-performance rubber additive for fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds
- Provides improved smoothness and mold release for FKM extrusions and compounds
- Delivers exceptional processing performance with limited property loss
- Exhibits excellent thermal stability
- Ideal for many FKM tube, profile and pre-form extrusions, plus injection and transfer molding
3M™ Dynamar™ High Performance Rubber Additive RA 5300 is designed for use at low loadings to improve the processing in extrusion and molding operations. As a rubber processing additive, RA 5300 can help improve the surface finish of FKM extrusions, deliver a higher yield and improve downstream processing.
Outperforming Conventional FKM Additives
3M™ Dynamar™ High Performance Rubber Additive RA 5300 exhibits exceptional stability for compression set and heat age resistance compared to conventional fluoroelastomer (FKM) additives, and at loadings less than 1 PHR it has little to no effect on rheological properties. Dynamar high performance rubber additive RA 5300 may also aid molding processes with improved flow, release, and tool fouling, especially at higher molding temperatures (approximately 400°F).
Traditional techniques for mixing FKM compounds can be used to incorporate Dynamar RA 5300. The same properties that allow this product to perform in extrusion and molding processes can also be seen in the mixing process. Sticking to two roll mills and internal mixers can be lessened with the use of RA 5300.
