TEFLON™ & TEFZEL™ FLUOROPOLYMERS
PLASTICS WITH THE HEART OF A DIAMOND AND THE SKIN OF A RHINOCEROS
TEFLON™ and TEFZEL™ fluoropolymers carry a carbon chain in their hearts, strong like a diamond with the protective, tough skin of fluorine atoms. As the inventor of fluoropolymers, CHEMOURS provides the highest-quality material on the market.
MANUFACTURED WITHOUT THE USE OF PFOA
The development of the patented CHEMOURS™ GenX™ technology guarantees the production of high-performance fluorine plastics without the use of perfluoroctane acid (PFOA).
PROPERTIES
- Outstanding chemical resistance
- Resistance against crack formation
- Great temperature resistance
- Anti-stick properties
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Outstanding resistance against weathering and aging
- Toughness and flexibility
REACH
There are no REACH problems since all CHEMOURS products are pre-registered. For additional information, consult the website.
TEFLON™ PTFE - POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE
Classic fluoropolymer PTFE can only be put into the desired form with methods such as pressing, vitrification and mechanical reworking. The evolution of fluoropolymers did justice to this disadvantage. Melt processing was achieved by shortening the main chain and introducing side chains. An example of this is FEP.
TEFLON™ FEP - FLUOROETHYLENPROPYLENE
FEP is a fully-fluorinated copolymer suitable for permanent use at up to 205°C with the best chemical resistance and dielectric stability. Today, FEP is used frequently in the wire and cable industry via extrusion processes and for transfer pressing for chemical applications. In the injection-molding sector, FEP has had less success due to its relatively large shearing sensitivity.
TEFLON™ PFA - PERFLUOROALKOXY
Perfluoralkoxylalkane is a high fluor-containing plastic, a further enhancement of the widespread vitrification material PTFE. In contrast to PTFE, PFA can be processed thermo-plastically. PFA has a low rigidity and hardness, it is resistant to nearly all chemicals, and it demonstrates great temperature stability and is flame-resistant. PFA has a low friction value, it behaves largely inertly, has high sliding abrasion and an extremely low adhesion.
TEFZEL™ ETFE - ETHYLENE-TETRAFLUORETHYLENE-COPOLYMER
Ethylene-Tetrafluorethylene is a fluorinated copolymer consisting of the monomers tetrafluorethylene and ethylene. ETFE is a PTFE derivative. Films of this plastic are lightweight and they are very light and UV-permeable. Due to its resistance to many aggressive chemicals (e.g. acids, aromatic hydrocarbons), ETFE also serves as a coating material for chemical devices and containers. Due to its low dielectric constant, it is well-suited as insulation material in electrical technology.
ZONYL™ PTFE MICROPOWDER
FIRST-CLASS ABRASION RESISTANCE AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES
ZONYL™ fluoroadditives are finely divided white powders of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, very different from the well-known TEFLON™ PTFE molding and extrusion powders.
PROPERTIES
ZONYL™ PTFE micropowders are added to other solid or liquid materials in order to provide inherent PTFE properties like
- Abrasion resistance
- Friction
- Better surface appearance
CHARACTERIZATION
ZONYL™ PTFE micropowders are characterized by
- Particle size, ranging from 2 to 12 µm
- Relatively low molecular weight 104-105 g/mol (versus 106–107 g/mol for standard PTFE)
- Different particle shapes and morphology
APPLICATIONS
- Thermoplastics
- Elastomers
- Coatings & paints
- Inks
- Greases & oils
CHEMOURS ZONYL™ PTFE MICROPOWDERS COMPLY WITH REGULATION (EU) 2019/1021
The EU has taken measures to regulate an additional chemical substance as a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP). The new regulation requires that, subject to certain exceptions, since July 4, 2020, mixtures and articles placed on the market in the European Union will have to meet certain concentration limits set under a new amendment to Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (EU Persistent Organic Pollutants Regulation).
Based on rigorous testing of representative samples, Chemours Zonyl™ PTFE MicroPowders comply with Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. To learn more about Chemours™ Zonyl PTFE MicroPowders, please visit their website.
