Non-fluorinated dispersant

"Fluxflow" is a liquid or wax-like non-fluorinated polymer material that meets new demands for dispersants and binders by utilizing our polymer structure control technology. It has been developed as a material that enables high-concentration dispersion of PTFE particles without using fluorinated surfactants, which carry the risk of PFAS regulations, and we are advancing market work.

Our company will exhibit at "nano tech 2025 - The 24th International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Conference" held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 29 to 31, 2025, as well as at the online exhibition. We will showcase the following products from our brand at one of the world's largest exhibitions gathering nanotechnology technologies from both domestic and international sources. 【Main Exhibits from Our Company】 ◆ Tech Polymer (Polymer Microparticles) ◆ Fluxflow (Polymer Materials Using Solution Polymerization)

〇●〇 We have published information on non-fluorinated dispersants!! 〇●〇 This is a non-fluorinated dispersant that can disperse fluorinated resin particles in water. It responds to PFAS regulations as an alternative to surfactants that use organic fluorine, reducing the burden on ecosystems and the environment. (Features) - Does not contain fluorine elements - A polymer-type dispersant with catechol groups inspired by the adhesion phenomenon of mussels - By using a small amount of general-purpose surfactants in combination, the amount of dispersant added can be reduced (Potential Applications) - Dispersion of difficult-to-disperse fillers with low surface free energy - The dispersion can be incorporated into coatings and paints, allowing for various applications For more details, please refer to the related catalog below.

The "PFAS 2024" conference was held from October 29 to 30, 2024, in Baltimore, Maryland, to discuss insights into the regulatory situation surrounding PFAS and the technical and economic challenges associated with the implementation of bans. Concerns about health risks and the long persistence of PFAS in the natural environment have led to an expansion of regulations, particularly in Europe, in recent years. This conference focuses on new alternatives and alternative technologies that do not contain PFAS, promoting a transition towards sustainability in the industry. The scope includes additives and other substances that may contain PFAS used in the plastics industry, extending beyond the fluoropolymer market to include release agents, foaming agents, processing aids, anti-blocking agents, flame retardants, and anti-corrosion coatings. PFAS is also used as an additive to uniformly disperse PTFE particles in liquids. Sekisui Chemical is focusing on the early practical application of non-fluorinated dispersants, and in this presentation, they proposed "Fluxflow," a fluorine-free dispersant utilizing biomimetic technology, highlighting its technical advantages and potential applications, which received significant attention.
