Fluon® PTFE and PTFE Micropowders

Highly cost-effective materials, Fluon® PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Resins are the most widely used fluoropolymers found in many areas of modern life. Resin properties keep insulation thickness to a minimum while tolerating a wider range of temperatures (-180 °C to 260 °C) than other insulators.  Inert to almost all chemicals, PTFE resins also offer good resistance to most solvents. They are suitable for outdoor use with no detriment to properties from extended exposure to the elements.

To accommodate an ever-growing range of end-use products, PTFE resins are available in different grades:

• Coagulated dispersions (CD): White, free-flowing powders made by coagulating aqueous dispersions of PTFE.
• They have been developed for paste extrusion into tapes, tubes, pipe liners, and coated wires

Fluon® PTFE Micropowders are PTFE lubricants milled to a very fine powder while retaining excellent lubricity properties. These powders can be compounded in rubber and plastics or dispersed in liquids to improve friction and wear properties of the base material. Many grades are used in non-stick surface applications, as EP additives in oil and grease, and in solvent applications. PTFE lubricant powders offer great advantages over conventional anti-scuff agents in printing inks, permitting quick solvent release, faster printing speeds, and excellent print gloss.
