Product Description

Everflon™ MV1 fluoroadditive is a white, free-flowing, PTFE powder designed for use as an additive in other materials. It can be used at temperatures from –190 °C to 250 °C (–310 °F to 480 °F) and is inert to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents. It is well suited for use in inks and coatings, where a narrow particle size distribution is desired. It is a good electrical insulator, does not absorb water, and is highly resistant to weathering. Its properties are summarized in Table 1. Everflon™ MV1 can impart: • Low surface energy • Improved lubricity and wear in plastics and elastomers • Improved performance in lubricants under severe conditions • Improved nonstick and antifriction properties Everflon™ MV1 tends to form clumps of particles, but it can be de-agglomerated during mixing and blending operations. Agglomerates of the resin are friable, a characteristic that helps in producing an intimate mixture with host materials. As the resin is dispersed in a solvent for particle size measurement, the agglomerates break down and may approach the 0.2 μm particle size.

Everflon™ MV1 is used as an additive (at approximately 1–3% by weight) in the preparation of offset, gravure, and flexographic printing inks. It improves certain properties, such as rub and slip resistance. It is used in combination with polyethylene waxes to obtain the desired degree of property modification. Due to its small particle size and narrow particle size distribution, Everflon™ MV1 has been found useful in a variety of coating systems. Typical loadings of 5–20% by weight are used in plastics and elastomers.

• Provides improvements in corrosion inhibition

• Reduces wettability

• Reduces “blocking” in inks

• Improves gloss and surface smoothness ​

Everflon™ PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) fluoroadditives are finely divided white powders of (PTFE) resin. They are typically added in small quantities to other solid or liquid materials to improve abrasion resistance and lubricity. They are a separate and distinctive product line, very different from standard Everflon™ PTFE molding and extrusion resins. The differences include a lower molecular weight, smaller particle sizes (2 to 20 μm) and different particle shapes. Everflon™ fluoroadditive powders are designed primarily for use as minority components in mixtures with other solid or liquid materials. Even in small quantities, they can impart some of the high performance properties of PTFE to various host materials.

Applications

Coatings for increased weatherability, UV protection, lubricity and enhanced durability. Seal and gasket material for reduced coefficient of friction and release. Inks and printing formulations for improved durability. Performance improvement in grease and lubricants. Other end use applications requiring a high performance fluoroplastic material.
