Everflon™ Fluoropolymer-based lubricants are used in a broad range of applications, such as transportation, aerospace, the chemical processing industry, the general manufacturing industry, construction, and also in power generation.
It can be argued that all uses of Everflon™ Fluoropolymer-based lubricants are critical for the safe functioning and safety of the varied equipment that use them. Everflon™ Fluoropolymer lubricants display unique properties in liquid formulations, in pastes and as dry (powder) lubricants. They display consistent performance over a wide range of temperatures and chemical agents. PTFE also has a very low coefficient of friction and very high abrasion resistance.
Everflon™ Fluoropolymers are used in lubricant applications across various sectors, where the reduction of coefficient of friction is important for the machinery and other equipment to function as required. The Everflon™ fluoropolymers mainly used for lubrication purposes are PTFE micropowders.
PTFE micropowders are used as an additive to reduce friction and wear in lubricating greases and coatings. PTFE micropowders are used as the main thickener in PFPE-based grease formulations offering the unique combination of wide temperature range (very low and high), chemical inertness and friction & wear reduction. They can be used in thermoplastic compounds in components that need improved abrasion resistance or as processing aid in elastomer polymerisation. They can also be used in inks for various applications and in various coatings and paints, where abrasion resistance is required.
