The Power of PTFE Powders as a Performance Additive

Thousands of products are formulated with fluoropolyer-based performance additives to enhance their properties. For example, Fluon® polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowders provide desirable characteristics such as chemical resistance and improved lubricity, friction, and wear characteristics for thermoplastic parts and components. Manufactured through controlled degradation of virgin PTFE feedstock, these fluoropolymer powders offer higher purity and better physical…

Using PTFE Micropowders to Manufacture Thermoplastic Parts that are as Non-stick as a Frying Pan

The very same chemicals that keep foods from sticking to frying pans can be used to enhance any thermoplastic part or component. Thermoplastic resins made with powerful polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowders provide excellent non-stick properties.  The Power of PTFE PTFE micropowders are synthetic fluoropolymers that act as lubricants in thermoplastic base resins to improve their surface…
