New video available! Why Up-Cycling perfluoropolymers? This video will show you the benefits for all parties involved, if fully perfluorinated polymers (PFPs) are Up-Cycled instead of disposed of.

We're exhibiting on this year's EVS30 trade show in Stuttgart, 9 to 11 October, at booth 1G14 in hall 1. Come and visit!

Not even 3M can change the past - but we can well change the future. In this instance, the future of dynamic sealing applications in the automotive and chemical industry. Watch how!

We will be on Booth 108 in Hall 12 at the DKT/IRC show in Nuremberg, 29 June - 02 July 2015. Come and visit!

Visit us this year at the ACHEMA show from 15 to 19 June in Frankfurt a. M., Germany, at booth E36 in hall 9.0

The time has come: Today, we have cut the tape to the world's first Up-Cycling plant for fluoropolymers.

Visit us this year at the European Coatings Show from 21 to 23 April in Nuremberg at booth 214 in Hall 7.

We look back on important innovations - the fluoropolymer applications range from frying pans to an astronaut’s space suit. This magic plastic dramatically changed the world in the 20th century and still makes surprising advances possible today.

The roof of this carport is very special. It generates electricity in the summer, withstands storms in autumn and will support more than 50 tonnes of snow load. Munich’s waste management company AWM set high requirements when it came to the new roof design for its central carport.

Let us show you the advantages of perfluoroelastomers, also known as FFKM, which are used when it comes to demanding applications in the aerospace, semiconductor and chemical processing industry.

Architects worldwide are relying more and more on films and membranes for new conceptual designs in public buildings and world class stadia.

We, Dyneon GmbH, a subsidiary of global diversified technology company 3M, have launched a successor to our benchmark PTFE dispersion for non-stick metal coating solutions that offers both advanced properties and substantial benefits for the environment.

The southernmost venue of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ is Porto Alegre in the federal state of Rio Grande do Sul, home to the thoroughly modernised Estádio Beira-Rio which means ‘stadium on the river bank’.

The final stage of the FIFA World Cup™ has never before been held as close to the equator as it will be in 2014. The latitude of the venue in Manaus is a mere 3 degrees south.

After rigorous testing in accordance with standards set by United States safety regulators, 3M Dyneon Perfluoroelastomer PFE 7502BZ can now be used for sealing applications in production and handling processes for food and pharma.

Among other examples of 3M sustainability solutions we will present our innovative Up-Cycling process at the IndustrialGreenTec, which is part of the Hannover Fair taking place from April 7th - 11th 2014 in Hannover, Germany.

As we previously announced in this article, 3M AdMD is working on closing the loop of the fluoropolymer life cycle. We started construction of our pilot plant in May 2013 and the shell of the building has been completed in December 2013.

In this video, we explain the technical problems facing the film industry in multi-layer film extrusion in a striking and easy to grasp manner, and offer our services to solve your technical issues with the help of our new 3 layer co-extrusion lab line and technical facilities in Antwerp, Belgium.

3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroplastic PFA is characterised by its almost universal chemical inertness. Dyneon PFA is the fluorothermoplastic closest in its product properties to PTFE products. Being a fluorothermoplastic, it can be processed with different moulding techniques.

Resistance to universal base, acid, hydrocarbon, alcohol, and steam make Dyneon Fluoropolymers the materials of choice for preventing corrosion in a range of industries – oil & gas, chemical, pulp & paper, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and semiconductor.

Re-using precious materials without sacrificing the capability characteristics was an illusion... From now on effective Up-Cycling of valuable perfluorinated material will become reality.

One of the latest solutions developed by Dyneon employs Dyneon's Compounding Technology to incorporate innovative micro particle fillers with 3M Dyneon PTFE.

Typically, FFKM materials provide the best possible resistance to very high temperatures and extreme chemical environments, whilst maintaining their elastomeric sealing capabilities and without compromising their key mechanical properties, such as compression set resistance, volume swell resistance and tensile properties.

Primer-free FKM-PA 46 component material is lightweight, very strong and it easily stands up to high heat (200 °C) and aggressive substances, such as oil and fuels, making it a lighter, very viable alternative to metal and metal-elastomer composite materials for the automotive industry, particularly, for power train components.

We have invested in state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to evaluate advanced high performance multilayer films for you - our customers. The three layer co-extrusion blown film line was installed after monitoring market trends that are moving towards optically clear multilayer film architecture for applications such as food packaging.

Find out about our progress in 3D printing with PTFE and our 3M Glass Bubbles’ wide application range as versatile fillers. Come to Hall B4, Booth 4406, October 17 to 21!
