3M™ Dynamar™ Polymer Processing Additive FX 5911 is a free-flowing fluoropolymer processing aid designed for use at very low levels to improve processing of thermoplastics. At the very low use levels (typically 200–1000 ppm) necessary to improve processing, it does not alter or detract from the physical properties associated with high strength plastics. Dynamar FX 5911 improves extrusion processing of polyolefins and other thermoplastic resins, and can offer performance and cost benefits in a wide range of polymers. It is particularly useful at low levels in reducing extruder die build-up.
FX 5911 exhibits utility in high viscosity, high molecular weight polyolefin resins and polypropylene. It is particularly useful for die build-up reduction, improved pigment dispersion, gel reduction and faster color changeovers. It has also seen applicability in nonolefin resins (such as PVC, nylon and acrylic) for die build-up reduction.
