PTFE substitute for micro-particle polyethylene powder used for improving the sliding properties of coatings, rubber, etc.
There are proven results for adoption as a PTFE substitute! Micron-sized ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that imparts lubricity and wear resistance to coatings, rubber, engineering plastics, etc., as a sliding modification additive!
High-dispersion coatings use PTFE powder as an additive, but due to regulatory trends regarding PFOA and similar substances, the future continued use of PTFE is uncertain. This product can be switched from PTFE. It has already been adopted in many coatings such as urethane-based, acrylic-based, and epoxy-based. 【Comparison with PTFE】 - Dispersion Stability: Easier to disperse in coatings compared to PTFE and has excellent storage stability. - Slipperiness: Good slipperiness with a smaller amount of additive compared to PTFE. It also has a matte finish effect. - Effect: Lighter specific gravity than PTFE allows it to appear more on the surface of the coating, 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 particle sizes over 100μ). - Chemical Resistance: High stability against acids, alkalis, and organic chemicals. - Non-absorbent: Almost no water absorption or moisture absorption occurs, preventing swelling or hydrolysis, and there is no need for preheating. - Hygiene: Brands that comply with FDA standards and are suitable for poly hygiene are also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
basic information
**Features** - Microparticles of ultra-high molecular weight PE that can be modified for sliding With an average particle size in the world’s smallest class of 10μ to 60μ, it achieves a reduction in the coefficient of friction (COF) on the coating surface and improves durability. - Ability to provide a matte finish and design features By adding this product, it is possible to achieve a matte finish on the coating surface and impart design features. - Wide range of applications It is widely adopted for rubber paints, plastic paints, and metal paints. In particular, it has a proven track record in sliding modification paints for rubber parts around automobiles. - Applicable for food-related uses Being ultra-high molecular weight PE, it meets the standards of the FDA and hygiene councils such as polyolefins, making it suitable for food contact applications. - Usable in water-based paints By using a small amount of dispersant, it can be used not only in solvent-based paints but also in water-based paints. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
