Everflon™ MV5 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™ MV5 can impart:

• Low surface energy

• Improved lubricity and wear in plastics

• Improved performance in lubricants under severe conditions

Everflon™ MV5 is used as an additive at up to 20% by weight in host materials, such as plastics, to improve nonstick performance and enhance tribological characteristics. Surface blemishes are minimized in injection molded thermoplastic parts. Plastics that can benefit include polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyamides, polyesters, polysulfides, and polysulfones.

It can be added at up to 30% by weight to base elastomers to improve abrasion resistance and lower the coefficient of friction. At 1-3% by weight, it is an excellent slip enhancer for a variety of water and solvent based inks. It can also be added to plastics, such as polyacetals, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyesters, polyimides, polysulfides, and polysulfones, at 5–20% by weight to reduce friction and wear.

• Provides anti-stick surfaces

• Reduces friction and wear in parts

• Reduces plate-out

• Increases lubrication

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.
