Shall we start considering alternatives to fluorine (PTFE) particles?
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with true spherical shape, excellent wear resistance and heat resistance. It can improve surface slip properties, scratch resistance, and wear resistance without using PTFE.
PTFE powder is used as an additive in paints and coatings, but due to regulatory trends regarding PFOA and similar substances, the future of its continued use is uncertain. This product can be switched from PTFE. It has already been adopted in many paints such as urethane-based, acrylic-based, and epoxy-based. 【Comparison with PTFE】 - Dispersion Stability: Easier to disperse in paint compared to PTFE and has excellent storage stability. - Slipperiness: Provides good slipperiness with a smaller amount of additive compared to PTFE. It also has a matte effect. - Effect: Lighter specific gravity than PTFE allows it to appear more on the surface of the paint, maintaining slipperiness for a long time. - Applications: Usable not only in solvent-based systems but also in water-based systems with just a small amount of dispersant. 【Properties】 - Particle Size: Average particle size is 10μ to 60μ (conventional ultra-high molecular weight PE typically has a particle size of over 100μ). - Chemical Resistance: High stability against acids, alkalis, and organic chemicals. - Non-Absorbent: Almost no water absorption or moisture absorption, preventing swelling or hydrolysis, and there is no need for preheating. - Hygiene: Brands that comply with FDA standards and are suitable for polyolefin applications are also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
