Features Of Arkema Kynar Flex 8601 Polymer Processing Additive

  1. Enhances melt flow and extrudability of high-viscosity fluoropolymers without compromising thermal or chemical resistance.

  2. Reduces die build-up and surface defects during high-speed extrusion and injection molding processes.

  3. Enables stable processing of PVDF and other fluorinated resins at lower torque and energy input.

  4. Maintains excellent compatibility with standard fluoropolymer formulations and does not negatively impact final part performance.

  5. Supplied as a free-flowing, non-dusting granular additive for easy handling and metered feeding.

Typical Applications Of Arkema Kynar Flex 8601 Polymer Processing Additive

  1. Wire and cable insulation extrusion (especially for aerospace and industrial-grade PVDF compounds).

  2. Thin-wall tubing production requiring consistent dimensional stability and smooth surface finish.

  3. Injection-molded components for chemical processing equipment and semiconductor fluid handling systems.

  4. Co-extruded multilayer fluoropolymer films used in battery separators and specialty membranes.

  5. High-purity linings and coatings for pharmaceutical and ultra-pure water systems.
