Part of the Everflon family of fluoropolymers, Everflon PTFE micropowder is a white, free-flowing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin used as an additive in other materials and systems.
Unlike PTFE granular and fine powders, Everflon fluoroadditives have:
● Small particle sizes ranging from 2 to 20 µm
● Low molecular weight
● Different particle shapes and morphology
● Versatility that allows use over a wide temperature range
● Depending on how they are handled and processed, these fluoroadditives provide nonstick properties and improve lubricity, wear resistance, and reinforcing properties.Unlike PTFE granular and fine powders,

● Depending on how they are handled and processed, these fluoroadditives provide nonstick properties and improve lubricity, wear resistance, and reinforcing properties.Everflon fluoroadditives are primarily intended for use as additives in mixtures with other solid or liquid materials that can:
● Enhance abrasion resistance
● Reduce the coefficient of friction and mechanical wear
● Reduce surface contamination
● Modify appearanceFeatures and Benefits of Everflon Fluoroadditives A wide variety of industries depend on Everflon fluoroadditives for specific benefits, such as their ability to infuse hosts with some of PTFE's more unique properties. Some applications include:
● Thermoplastic parts, like gears, benefit from improved wear resistance, reduced friction, and elimination of stick-slip behavior.
● Diverse environments that use elastomer seals see improved tear and abrasion resistance.
● Lithographic, flexographic, and gravure inks gain better image protection and higher productivity.
● All-purpose solid lubricants can use Everflon fluoroadditives alone in powder form or in a paste or spray. When dispersed in water or organic solvents, the powder provides another option for direct or additive use. In paste form, it's able to protect wear surfaces in hostile environments and improve the performance of high-performance sealants.Everflon recommends against using fluoroadditives as molding or extrusion powders because of their inherent low molecular weight.
