Specialty Compounds Containing Fluoroguard®

[cover shot]
  • Eliminate "plate-out" associated with PTFE
  • Improve wear resistance and reduce coefficient of friction at low modifier levels (less than 1%)
  • Reduce or eliminate squeaks; minimize scratches and/or maring

Specialty compounds containing (PFPE) perfluoropolyether synethetic oil significantly improve wear and friction properties at loadings of less than 1%, resulting in little to no effect on physical properties such as specific gravity. Wear performance is comparable to compounds with 10-20% loadings of PTFE—all at a lower cost.
