Zonyl™ MP 1100 fluoroadditive is a white, free-flowing, PTFE powder designed for use as an additive in other materials. 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 well suited for use in inks and coatings, where a narrow particle size distribution is desired. It is a good electrical insulator, does not absorb water, and is highly resistant to weathering. Applications: Zonyl™ MP 1100 is used as an additive (at approximately 1–3% by weight) in the preparation of offset, gravure, and flexographic printing inks. It improves certain properties, such as rub and slip resistance. It is used in combination with polyethylene waxes to obtain the desired degree of property modification. Due to its small particle size and narrow particle size distribution, Zonyl™ MP 1100 has been found useful in a variety of coating systems. Typical loadings of 5–20% by weight are used in plastics and elastomers.Information provided by Chemours. |
