Fluon® PTFE is available in the following forms:
Fluon® Lubricant Micropowders, available in micronised form, are manufactured from virgin PTFE feedstock and are used either as dry lubricants or as additives in other materials such as plastic compounds, rubbers, fluoroelastomers, inks, paint, oils and greases. Fluon® lubricant powders are U.S. Food and Drug Administration and EU food contact approved so are ideal as additives in coatings which are in contact with food and drink, such as food processing equipment and can coatings. They also give enhanced lubricity, non-stick properties and reduce friction, all of which are important in a wide range of applications.Applications:
• additive in gravure and flexographic printing inks
• general purpose lubricant
• friction reducing additive in thermoplastics
• food contact coatings
