UNIPLEX FE-703

Fluorochemical Additive

 

 

Description:        A solid fluorochemical polyester containing 46 % aliphatic

                             fluorine.  This product is useful in improving water, alcohol, and oil

                             repellence of various vinyl polymeric systems.  Resin systems

                             compounded with this product have high chemical flame resistance,

                             minimal thermal discoloration, and excellent light stability and

                             dielectric properties.  The normal starting use level is 1800-4000 ppm

                             Fluorine to achieve the above mentioned properties.

 

Applications:       Soil resistant PVC Resins for outdoor uses.

                             Medical applications (non-wovens) as an internal additive where resistance                         to alcohol, blood, and urine (low surface tensions fluids) is required. A                                    short annealing time at 110°C is required for the fluorochemical additive to                              migrate to the surface.

 

Typical Properties:   

            Fluorine Content (%)                          46 min.

            Thermal Stability (5% Loss)               247C

            Melting Range (C)                            40-46

            Flash Point (F)                                   >450

 

General Specifications:

            Appearance                                         Light yellow solid

            Ester Content (% by GC)                   99 min.

            Acidity (mg KOH/g)                          4 max.

            Water Content (%, Karl Fischer)        0.1 max.

 

Health & Safety:        Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
