Hemel Hempstead, October 2002 – A new brochure, entitled "Process G – The fluoropolymers of the future are here now" is now available on demand from DuPont Fluoroproducts. "Process G" is the name given to the proprietary and fundamentally new manufacturing technology for DuPont Teflon fluoropolymer resins, that replaces traditional water-based polymerisation with a process based on supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2).
According to DuPont, the new technology produces Teflon G resins with enhanced performance and processing capabilities. Many of these properties, such as significantly improved flex life versus melt flow rate than previous generation FEP products, are detailed in the brochure. The first commercial resins are being manufactured at the company's Fayetteville, NC, USA plant in a $40 million facility that started up in late 2000. The new products will be targeted at the data communications, semiconductor, automotive and other industrial markets.
