3M Business Units
Dyneon LLC
Dyneon LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M and is a global leader in the production and marketing of fluoropolymers. Dyneon provides one single source for PTFE resins and compounds, fluoroplastics, fluoroelastomers and polymer processing additives.
Polytetrafluoroethylenes
Dyneon™* PTFE Resins are used in applications requiring chemical resistance, high service temperature, low friction and high purity. Markets for these products include automotive, electrical/electronic and chemical processing.
Major Markets: Construction; oil and gas; utilities; electrical appliance OEMs.
Dyneon™* TFM™* PTFE is a modified PTFE used in the electrical/electronic and chemical processing industries. Components made from Dyneon™ TFM™ PTFE have smoother finishes, lower ion extractables, improved mechanicals and reduced cleaning cycle times.
Specialty and Custom PTFE Compounds
Custom Compounding is a full service supplier of more than 2,200 PTFE compounds in standard flow, free flow and pre-sintered grades for all manufacturing processes. They provide a wide range of technical services, from custom manufacture, to specific end-use needs, to comprehensive testing.
Fluoroplastics
Fluoroplastic resins range from heat-resistant, fully fluorinated Dyneon™* PFA to flexible, easy-to-process Dyneon™* THV. Along with Dyneon™* ETFE, Dyneon™* HTE, and Dyneon™* FEP Fluoroplastics, they find applications in markets that include automotive, semiconductor, wire and cable, chemical processing, films and coatings, and light management.
Fluoroelastomers and Elastomer Additives
Dyneon™* Fluoroelastomers and Dyneon™* Base Resistant Elastomers are fabricated or molded into products such as seals, gaskets, O-rings, hoses, tubing and valve liners. These parts are used in the automotive, food processing, aerospace, petroleum down-hole, chemical processing and industrial pollution control industries in applications requiring resistance to aggressive chemicals or heat.
Dynamar™* Elastomer Additives include a rubber curative system for vulcanizing ECO (polyepichlorohydrin) elastomers, a masterbatch of curatives for fluoroelastomers, and a fluoroelastomer cure accelerator masterbatch.
Dynamar™* Polymer Processing Additives (PPAs) are multi-purpose extrusion aids used in extruding polyolefin resins such as LLDPE and HDPE. Dynamar PPAs reduce die build-up, eliminate surface defects such as melt fracture or shark skin, and may increase output.
Major Markets: General industrial; plastic industry; transportation.
Distribution: Direct sales.
