Algoflon® D XPH 2530_1N is a white aqueous PTFE dispersion and is produced without any intentional use or addition of PFOA. It is designed for impregnation processes and is particularly recommended for production of fabrics and laminates. Algoflon® D XPH 2530_1N exhibits excellent wetting properties, high shear stability and low foaming formation. Main features of Algoflon® D XPH 2530_1N PTFE dispersion are: - NO polyethoxylated alkylphenols - Superior film building behavior - Excellent surface finishing and gloss - Very high shear stability Key Attributes: Chemical Resistant; High Heat Resistance; Low Friction Applications: Coating Applications; Impregnation Applications Processing - Algoflon XPH 2530_1N is processed according to methods generally used for conventional impregnation technology. Generally the procedure involves dip-coating and then heating to remove water and surfactant from the impregnated item. Depending on the application, sintering above the crystalline melting point of the coated resin may be carried out to obtain the finished coated articles. Multiple passes may be required to obtain the desired PTFE load and coating thickness. - Algoflon XPH 2530_1N can be processed neat or appropriately formulated. Also, it can be used diluted using distilled or deionized water. Formulation, line speed and oven temperature must all be well controlled for optimized features of the coated substrates. Storage and Handling - Algoflon® D XPH 2530 1N dispersions must be stored under suitable temperature conditions to ensure prolonged stability. Temperatures lower than 5°C must be avoided to prevent irreversible settling. Also, some settling may occur on prolonged standing and/or heat exposure. It is therefore strongly recommended that the product is always kept at temperatures below 35°C. The optimum storage temperature range is 10-25°C. It is also advisable that the product is homogenized by gentle rolling or stirring once per month and prior to use. - Prolonged exposure of the liquid to air could lead to some coagulation at the surface due to water evaporation. For this reason and also to avoid contamination, it is recommended to keep the containers closed when not in use. Safety and Toxicology - Before using Algoflon® D XPH 2530 1N dispersions consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet and follow all label directions and handling precautions. - As with all PTFE materials, handling and processing should only be carried out in well ventilated areas. Venting units should be installed above processing equipment. Fumes must not be inhaled and eye and skin contact ought to be avoided. In case of skin contact wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact flush with water immediately and seek medical help. Do not smoke in areas contaminated with powder, vapor or fumes. - See Safety Data Sheet for detailed advice on waste disposal methods. Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers. |
