PTFE Wax Micropowder PTFE-F5

Model: PTFE-F5

Chemical Composition: PTFE Wax

CAS No.: 9002-84-0

Purity: ≥99.5%

1. Product Description

PTFE Wax Micropowder is low-molecular-weight, free-flowing ultra-fine PTFE powder. It features excellent chemical inertness and ultra-low coefficient of friction, with outstanding self-lubricity, abrasion & scratch resistance, mold release performance, wide temperature resistance, as well as acid, alkali and solvent resistance. It can be incorporated into formulations of PVC, engineering plastics, elastomers, coatings, inks and greases to improve surface slip and wear resistance, reduce friction noise, enhance mold release and scratch resistance. It is suitable for printing inks and functional coating systems.

2. Typical Specifications

Note: The above are typical reference values only and shall not be regarded as mandatory minimum specifications. Specifications vary among different grades.

3. Recommended Dosage & Applications

• PVC cable compound, PVC footwear compound, flexible PVC compound: 0.2～0 phr for improved wear resistance, surface slip, mold release and reduced friction noise
• Engineering plastics (PA/POM/PC/PBT): 0.5～0% for friction reduction, self-lubrication, stick-slip elimination and extended wear life
• Coatings & inks: 0.2～5% for scratch resistance, slip property and anti-blocking
• Lubricating greases & oils: 1～5% for high-temperature dry lubrication and heavy-duty wear resistance
• Rubber & elastomers: 0.5～0% for better surface slip, wear resistance and mold release

4. Processing Guide

Applicable processing temperature range: -180～260℃

• Pre-disperse at low speed during mixing to avoid agglomeration. It can be added via various grinders and high-shear dispersing equipment. Control grinding temperature when using grinders.
• Pre-dispersion is available to prepare wax slurry with 20–30% wax concentration for later addition into the system.

Remark: PTFE micropowder has a high melting point. It remains solid and disperses as discrete particles to deliver lubrication and wear resistance under normal PVC and plastic extrusion temperatures.

⚠️ Do not expose it continuously above 360℃. Thermal decomposition will release toxic fluoride fumes; forced local exhaust ventilation is required.

5. Packaging, Storage & Shelf Life

Packing: 25 kg per fiber drum with PE inner liner

Storage: Store in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources and open flame. Keep sealed to prevent moisture ingress and dust contamination.

Shelf life: 12 months for unopened original package under recommended storage conditions.

6. Safety, Health & Environmental Information

Stable under ambient conditions. Inhalation of dust may irritate the respiratory tract. Thermal decomposition products at high temperature are highly irritating and toxic. Wear dust respirator and goggles during handling; avoid dust generation. Powerful exhaust ventilation is mandatory at high-temperature processing stations. Avoid eye and skin contact. SDS is available upon request.
