Products in Lubricants & Functional Fluids: Fluoropolymers

Fluoro GS 125 is a free-flowing, easily dispersed PTFE micropowder. It provides friction reduction, improved wear protection, and some thickening. In our efforts to constantly improve, Shamrock has been working to develop PTFE micropowders for the grease and lubricant market. We have been determining thickening efficiency with the cone penetrometer using a 50/50 mixture in a PAO6 base oil and wear resistance according to ASTM D 2266 with the 4 Ball Tester in order to provide the industry with PTFE data that relates to grease properties.

Fluoro GT 105 is a 5 micron polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder. Fluoro GT designates a series of PTFE micro powders made from highly crystalline, sintered PTFE. These products can be added with minimal to no change to the viscosity of the system. They impart excellent lubricity and wear resistance.

Fluoro GS 115 is a high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder with an average particle size between 4 and 6 µm. Fluoro GS designates a series of powders are made from unsintered, suspension grade virgin PTFE. The products in this series are characterized by the uniform, crystalline structure of PTFE with increased slip and abrasion properties.

Fluoro GT 130 is a 25-35 micron powder. Fluoro GT designates a series of PTFE micro powders made from highly crystalline, sintered PTFE. These products can be added with minimal to no change to the viscosity of the system. They impart excellent lubricity and wear resistance.

Fluoro GE 125 is a moderate molecular weight sub-micron polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder with a high surface area. Fluoro GE designates a series of sub-micron PTFE powders made from emulsion grade virgin PTFE. This series covers a range of molecular weights which determine dispersibility, thickening and performance properties. Due to the small particle size, the GE products have a larger specific surface area when compared to other PTFE.

Fluoro GE 150 is a low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder. Fluoro GE designates a series of sub-micron PTFE powders made from emulsion grade virgin PTFE. This series covers a range of molecular weights which determine dispersibility, thickening and performance properties. Due to the small particle size, the GE products have a larger specific surface area when compared to other PTFE.

Fluoro GE 100 is a high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder with a narrow particle size distribution. Fluoro GE designates a series of sub-micron PTFE powders made from emulsion grade virgin PTFE. This series covers a range of molecular weights which determine dispersibility, thickening and performance properties. Due to the small particle size, the GE products have a larger specific surface area when compared to other PTFE.

Ultraflon DF-20A are premium PTFE dispersions based on an ultra-high purity Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) carrier. The solids content of DF-20A is 25%. This colloidal dispersion contains a proprietary additive to improve adhesion to substrates such as glass, plastic, and metal. The primary particles of PTFE have a nanometric particle size, and are engineered to have a spherical The has an exacting, narrow particle size distribution, which translates into consistent, uniform DF-20A is not made with the PFOA surfactant. The resulting film formation from DF-20A may be considered due to the proprietary adhesion-promoting chemistry.

Ultraflon MP-30 is a granular-based PTFE powder additive, and is characterized by its proven versatility in a broad spectrum of applications. It an average particle size of 5 microns, and is exhibits a very narrow spread about the mean. As a result, it demonstrates unparalleled uniformity and repeatability in performance. Laurel's exacting manufacturing process ensures that the molecular weight of MP-30 is extremely resulting in unsurpassed consistency in performance.

Marzon 110 is a premium, loosely agglomerated PTFE additive. Marzon 110 offers a uniquely spherical primary particle morphology. The product is designed to be friable, which means it breaks down to its primary particle size under low shear. The mean primary particle size is 250 nanometers, while the secondary particle size is 500 microns on average.

Ultraflon DF-20 are premium PTFE dispersions based on an ultra-high purity Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) carrier. The solids content of DF-20 is 25%. The primary particles of PTFE have a nanometric particle size, and are engineered to have a spherical morphology. The dispersion has an exacting, narrow particle size distribution, which translates into consistent, uniform properties. DF-20 is not made with the PFOA surfactant.

Marzon X-55 utilizes Laurel's proprietary thermal particle polishing processing technique. This results in a remarkably uniform particle with uniquely high powder bulk density. As a result, the flow and handling characteristics of Marzon X-55 surpass those of other standard PTFE micropowders. Because of its high particle density, in many cases greater efficacy can be achieved at lower mass loadings when compared to standard additives

Ultraflon MP-10 is a granular-based PTFE additive, and characterized by its proven versatility in a broad spectrum of applications. It possesses an average particle size of 10 microns. Because of Laurel's unique thermal treatment process, it exhibits best-in-class thermal stability. As a result, off-gassing is mitigated and compatibility with various polymer matrices is optimized. Laurel's exacting manufacturing process ensures that the molecular weight of MP-10 is extremely precise. resulting in unsurpassed consistency in performance.

ZAROX TYN 142 is a special high performance fluorinated grease. Totally inert both physically and chemically and is totally resistant to all common solvents, chemicals and water. Compatible with most elastomers and plastics.
