PTFE Micro-powder
PTFE micro-powder is a finely milled, low molecular weight form of polytetrafluoroethylene designed to enhance the performance of plastics, coatings, inks and lubricants. Its small particle size – typically between 3 and 20 µm – allows for uniform dispersion, transferring PTFE’S well-known properties such as low friction, non-stick behavior, and chemical resistance to a wide range of materials. When added as a modifier, it improves smoothness, wear resistance, and long-term durability without altering the host material’s structure.
Key Features
Fine Particle Size and High Dispersibility
The micro-powder’s small, uniform particles blend easily with polymers, coatings, and resins, ensuring even distribution and consistent performance.
Low Molecular Weight for Easy Processing
Its reduced molecular weight allows smooth incorporation into various materials using standard mixing or extrusion processes.
Outstanding Surface Properties
Provides low friction and non-stick characteristics, reducing surface adhesion and improving the texture and appearance of finished products.
Enhanced Wear and Abrasion Resistance
Functions as a solid lubricant within the material matrix, minimizing wear and extending service life under repeated motion or friction contact.
Chemical and Thermal Stability
Maintains performance when exposed to heat, solvents, and aggressive chemicals, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Applications
Plastics and Rubber
Added to engineering plastics such as PA, POM, PEEK, and ABS to improve slip properties, wear resistance, and mold release.
Coatings and Inks
Used as an additive in epoxy, acrylic, oil-based coatings, and printing inks to enhance scratch resistance, anti-stick, and anti-abrasion performance.
Automotive and Mechanical Parts
Reduces friction and noise in moving components such as fasteners, gears, and precision parts.
Electronics and Industrial Use
Serve as an insulating and anti-fouling additive in electronic materials and industrial products requiring chemical and temperature resistance.
