Compounds Containing PFPE Synthetic Oil

Wear resistant compounds containing (PFPE) perfluoropolyether synethetic oil (Dupont Fluoroguard®) improve wear resistance and reduce coefficient of friction at very low (less than 1%) levels. These compounds eliminate plate-out associated with PTFE, improve fatigue resistance (especially in gears), and minimize marring and scratching of polymer surfaces.

Product Characteristics

  • Low loading levels mean minimal increase in specific gravity
  • Standard formulas currently available in acetal and nylon
  • Improved processing with enhanced melt flow, increased throughput, and easier mold release
  • Modifier meets USP Plastics Class VI requirements and is compliant with European Blue Angel standards

Typical Applications

  • Gears and bushings
  • Seals and automotive weather stripping
  • Airbag doors
  • Cleanroom applications
