Applications

Lubrication and Anti-friction Coatings:

Lubricants: PTFE micropowder is widely used as an additive in lubricants to reduce friction and wear in industrial machinery and automotive components. Its low friction coefficient and self-lubricating properties enhance the performance and longevity of mechanical parts by reducing metal-to-metal contact.

Anti-friction Coatings: It is used in the formulation of anti-friction coatings applied to surfaces that require sliding or slippery properties, such as bearings, gears, and chains. This helps to reduce energy loss, prevent wear, and improve operational efficiency.

Industrial Coatings:

Non-stick and Release Coatings: PTFE micropowder is used in non-stick coatings and release agents for molds and tools in the manufacturing of rubber, plastic, and composite products. Its non-reactive and low adhesion properties help prevent materials from sticking to surfaces, making it ideal for molding and casting applications in industries such as automotive, food processing, and electronics.

Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: PTFE’s excellent chemical resistance makes it an ideal component in coatings for industrial equipment that is exposed to aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents. PTFE micropowder improves the chemical resistance and durability of coatings, ensuring long-lasting protection of the surfaces.

Polymers and Compounds:

Polymer Additive: PTFE micropowder can be incorporated into plastics, rubber, and elastomers as a filler or additive to improve properties such as wear resistance, slipperiness, and chemical resistance. The powder is often added to polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), and other engineering polymers to enhance surface lubrication and durability.

PTFE-Based Composite Materials: PTFE micropowder is used in the development of PTFE-based composites that are used in applications where enhanced thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low friction are required, such as in high-performance bearings, seals, and gaskets.

Textile Industry:

Water and Oil Repellent Coatings: PTFE micropowder is used in textile coatings to provide water repellency and stain resistance to fabrics. It is applied to outdoor apparel, protective clothing, fabrics for tents, and industrial textiles to improve durability and functionality under harsh conditions.

Waterproofing Agents: When used in textile formulations, PTFE micropowder creates a barrier against water absorption, making fabrics more water-resistant and breathable at the same time.
