Designed for use in critical engineering and high-end performance coatings and inks, Polymist® XPP 400 will improve non-stick properties and mar and abrasion resistance as well as slip and rub resistance.

Main features of Polymist® XPP 400 are:
- Improved abrasion, scratch and rub resistance
- Increased slip and surface lubricity
- Reduced blocking
- Improved chemical resistance
- Increased temperature resistance
- Gloss retention

Applications: Additive

Processing
- Polymist® XPP 400 is used as an additive in paints and coatings where improvements in non-stick, mar resistance, slip, chemical resistance, and moisture repelling characteristics are desired.
- Polymist® XPP 400 may be used independently as an additive or in combination with polyethylene waxes. The PTFE content at the surface layer is required in order to substantially impart the properties of PTFE to the coating. Extreme environmental demands on greases, such as those experienced in the automotive industry (i.e. wide temperature ranges and heavy loads) can be accommodated by the addition of Polymist® XPP 400 micronized powders.
- Polymist® XPP 400 can be easily dispersed at room temperature and does not agglomerate at temperatures used during formulation or printing. Chemical inertness and improved temperature resistance give ink formulators the opportunity to use a variety of solvents without adverse chemical reactions.

Storage and Handling
- The usual precautions for safe storage and handling of Polymist® XPP 400 should be taken according to material safety documentation and experience. During proper storage there will be no chemical deterioration of the Polymist® XPP 400.
- Shelf life of Polymist® XPP 400 micronized powders will vary depending upon whether the recommended storage conditions are maintained and whether the material remains free of foreign contamination during storage time (no exposure to dirt, dust, water or other chemicals). The material should remain sealed in its original containers and storage conditions should provide for protection from extremes in temperature as well as rain, snow or other wet environments (or such conditions as may damage the containers in which the product is stored).

Safety and Toxicology
- Before using PTFE Polymist® XPP 400 micronized powders, consult the product Safety Data Sheet and follow all label directions and handling precautions.
