PTFE or ‘Polytetrafluoroethylene’ has been invented in 1938 by Dupont de Nemours. It consists only of carbon and fluorine atoms and has unique properties within the polymers :

Extremely high melting temperature (327C), it can be used up to 260C in contiuous use.

Non-combustible, it resists pure oxygen up to elevated temperature and most chemicals, except strong bases above 300C

Low surface tension and coefficient of friction

When added to thermoplastic and thermosetting resins, such as POM, PPS, LCP, PEEK,PC,PA,PES,PI,PEI,PAI,PSU,PEN,PBT,ABS,PP,PE, Epoxy and phenolic resines, the JKF series drastically reduces the friction factor and wear, and improves the PV value.

Specifically, the FL series is highly regarded as an additive for POM and super engineering plastics that require high temperatures to be molded, since it generates very little pyrolysis gas at and over temperature of 400C

When added to some rubbers (Fluoro-rubber, silicone rubber, urethane rubber, EPDM, NBR), TPU, thermoplasitic elastomer, and soft PVC, the JKF series reduces the friction factor nd wear.

It is effective in preventing sticking, and eliminating stick-slip

By forming PTFE transfer film on sliding surfaces, the JKFL series prevents burning due to lack of oil or grease.

PTFE itself is soft and non-abrasive, a property suitable for sliding plastic parts ( reduces drive torque, muffles sounds). It is also suitable for use in electronic instruments where silicon oil may not be a suitable option.

When appied alone to sliding surfaces, or when applied to sliding surfaces after being dispersed in a solvent, the FL series exhibits excellent lubrication properties over a wide temperature range of -200C to +250C.

In addition, as it is a fine white powder, it does not become sticky or leave stains, unlike conventional lubricants, molybdenum disulfide and carbon-graphite

When added to rubber,plastic, or metallic paint, the JKFL series facilitates the development of coating materials with a low friction factor and high wear resistance.

The series can be used in place of silicon oil, molybdenum disulfide or carbon graphite (which have been conventionally used to improve low friction characteristics) or used together with these additives to add outstanding performance to the coatings.

Further, it is effective in preventing scratches, for example, it is possible to prevent scratches by adding it to plastic paint ( for mobile phones, digital cameras, PC’s and electrical household appliances), magnesium alloy paint, car upholstery paint, and PCM paint. The JKFL series can be used widely, with a range of coating thickness ( 5~10micron) and clear coatings(glossy or mat).

The JKFL series does not require grinding by a mill, and a uniform dispersion condition can be obtained by simply stirring with a dissolver.

It is not limited to thermosetting paints, and can also be added to other various paints (PCM,UV paint, electrodeposition paint, water paint, powder paint,etc.).

When added to offset ink (web offset ink, sheet-fed ink), UV ink, can ink, gravure ink, metallic ink, resist ink and flexographic ink, the JKFL series drastically improves durability.

Further, the melting point of the JKFL series exceeds 310C, which enables its use in high temperature situations where other wax is not suitable.

Inks with the JKFL series also have a high resistance to scratches and set-off.

Sintered types are especially useful for inks (for mat papers, etc.) that require high wear resistance
