Features of Modified PTFE

METABLEN A-type can be used as processing aid and anti-dripping agent. It consists of PTFE, modified by acrylic polymer hybrid technology.


METABLEN™ A 3750 - Features of Modified Ptfe

 

  • METABLEN A-type has better handling property than pure PTFE.
  • METABLEN A-type has high dispersibility to matrix resin, and forms fibrillar network structure.
