    Editor's Note: Each week, Rubber & Plastics News will take a look at some of the rubber industry's new products and innovations on www.rubbernews.com. Does your company have a new product or new innovation? To be considered for inclusion in this recurring feature, email [email protected]

    AGC Chemicals Americas Inc. has released AFLAS PM-1100 and AFLAS PM-3000 resins, peroxide-curable perfluoroelastomers for fabricating components that will be exposed to ultra-high temperatures.

    AGC said both resins are ideal for O-rings, gaskets, oilfield seals and packings, as well as semiconductor parts and components. Both remain thermally stable up to 270°C, resist aggressive chemicals and provide electrical insulation properties, AGC said. The company reported the resins were developed for use in demanding applications in the oil and gas, chemical process, industrial equipment, food handling, pharmaceutical, heavy-duty diesel and automotive industries.

    The chemical structure of AFLAS PM-1100 and PM-3000 is derived from tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether, AGC said, which offers the ultimate resistance to chemicals, oils and solvents, as well as provides excellent compression set, mechanical strength and ease of processing. Components formulated with AFLAS PM-1100 and PM-3000 last longer in critical applications, which reduces downtime and improves production, the company claimed, and they can be compounded to be highly resistant to rapid gas decompression.

    AGC said AFLAS PM-1100 imparts a continuous service temperature at 230°C, with peak excursion exposure to 250 °C. AFLAS PM-3000 imparts a continuous service temperature at 250°C, with peak excursion exposure to 270°C.

    Huron Technologies Release Coating 8056 is suitable for various applications in the rubber manufacturing industry.

    Huron Technologies Inc. has developed Release Coating 8056, a high performance release agent for various applications in the rubber manufacturing industry.

    Release Coating 8056 is a modified product created for the assisted release of fluorinated rubber compounds and FKM rubber materials that require silicone-free processes.

    Huron Technologies said clients that have tested the product reported that after coating their mold surfaces with the release agent, they needed to apply less effort to remove parts from the molds. Additionally, line operators also observed an average of five part releases per application of mold release.

    According to Huron Technologies, benefits of Release Coating 8056 include:

    • Water-based product for green and environmentally friendly practices;

    • Silicone-free formula for paintable surfaces;

    • High temperature molding stability, up to 400°F;

    • Minimal buildup on mold surfaces for fewer cleaning cycles and less down time; and

    • Multiple part releases per application

    Grieve's No. 1013, an electrically-heated, 350ºF cabinet oven used for curing rubber parts.

    The Grieve Corp. has released the No. 1013, an electrically-heated, 350ºF cabinet oven currently used for curing rubber parts at the customer's facility.

    Grieve said eight workspace openings with roller supported shelves each measure 36” W x 6-1/4” H x 24” D. 45 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular heating elements, while a 7,800 CFM, 5-HP recirculating blower provides horizontal airflow to the common central duct of the oven to heat the load, the company said.

    Grieve said this cabinet oven features 4-inch thick insulated walls, aluminized steel interior and exterior, top mounted heat chamber with access doors and 200-pound capacity shelves that extend 24 nches in front of the oven for easier loading.

    Additionally, No. 1013 is equipped with a digital indicating temperature controller, manual reset excess temperature controller with separate contactors, recirculating blower airflow safety switch and all required safety equipment for handling flammable solvents, Grieve said, including explosion venting door hardware. A programmable timer, interlocked to each door via a proximity switch, plus green lights for each door to indicate when curing time is complete, are also on the oven, according to Grieve.
