DuPont Dow Elastomers has launched a new website for its new high performance specialty products based on its APA advanced polymer architecture.

DuPont Dow Elastomers has launched a new website for its new high performance specialty products based on its APA advanced polymer architecture.

The website, www.dupont-dow.com/vitonapa, offers the latest technical information and data on APA polymers along with marketing and application information.

From the website, users can download brochures, technical papers and application information as well as view an online video demonstration showing the advantages of APA technology.

APA is a unique, proprietary advance in fluoroelastomer technology developed by DuPont Dow.

Specialty types of Viton made with APA exhibit better end-use properties and improved processability through the control of molecular weight distribution, polymer chain branching, and new cure site monomers.

Patrick Lederer, Marketing Manager - Viton Europe for DuPont Dow, said, "Advanced polymer architecture technology delivers innovative Viton products to the fluoroelastomer market and has created strong interest among customers and end-users.

We continue to receive questions about the products, technology and reasons behind our investment.

This website will be a valuable resource for those who want to learn more about the APA polymers, including our latest offering, Viton Extreme".

DuPont Dow recently announced two new base-resistant polymers made with APA, Viton Extreme TBR-605CS and Viton Extreme ETP-600S.

Viton Extreme TBR-605CS (developmental polymer VTR-8802) is a new, totally base-resistant Viton polymer that is inherently resistant to caustic chemicals and provides superior resistance to hydrocarbon oils and acids.

Viton Extreme ETP-600S is an upgrade to ETP-900 with significantly improved processing and end-use properties while maintaining the excellent resistance to acids, hydrocarbons and low molecular weight esters, ketones and aldehydes of ETP-900.

DuPont Dow has invested $50 million in new proprietary polymerisation and curing technology, including the construction of a new polymerisation unit at the company's Dordrecht facility in The Netherlands.
