| Zonyl™ MP 1400 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. Zonyl™ MP 1400 can impart: Low surface energy, Improved lubricity and wear in plastics, Improved performance in lubricants under severe conditions. Zonyl™ MP 1400 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. Applications: 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. Features: Provides anti-stick surfaces, Reduces friction and wear in parts, Reduces plate-out, Increases lubrication.Information provided by Chemours. |
