Product Description

Everflon™ MV3 fluoroadditive is a white, free-flowing, PTFE powder designed for use as an additive in other materials or as a dry lubricant. 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 a good electrical insulator, does not absorb water, and is highly resistant to weathering. . Everflon™ MV3 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™ MV3 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™ MV3 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.
