SHAMROCK Fluoro T® 815 Thermoplastic Grade PTFE Additive
Subcategory: Additive/Filler for Polymer; PTFE
Material Notes: The addition of mocronized polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder to polymeric resins (and to polymeric resins containing glass fiber) provides greatly increased resistance to surface wear and abrasion. PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction (0.04) and is therfore useful as an internal lubricant processing aid. Becasue the PTFE particles are inert, processing and the other physical properties of the thermoplastic resin are not adversely affected. The optimum loading is typically 5 to 20 wt% PTFE. As a result of the improved surface wear and slip, thermoplastic products containng FLOURO-T® PTFE, look good longer while in use. The molecular weight and particle size distribution of the Shamrock series of FLOURO-T PTFE powders for thermoplastics are tailored to yield optimum improvements to wear resistance and surface friction, and flow easily during blending.- Low Friction
