A New Era for Processing Additives

Now, DuPont Performance Elastomers (DPE) has introduced cutting-edge products based on proprietary technology — Viton® FreeFlow™ Z-100 and Z-200 — the latest process aid technology

Viton® FreeFlow™ Z-100 and Z-200 offer film producers, extruded pipe producers and wire and cable producers far more efficient, reliable and predictable performance than conventional flouropolymer process aids, redefining the additives market

The Viton® FreeFlow™ Z Technology™ products from DPE offer benefits such as:

• eliminating ‘sharkskin’ melt fracture in blown films
• speeding and smoothing extrusions
• reducing die build-up and die swell in tubing extrusions
• enhancing flow of extrudate through the die opening
• coating dies rapidly resulting in fast transitions, reduced scrap and higher yields
• reducing downtime and improving start-ups
