Application

Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) micropowder, with an average particle size of less than 1 μm, serves as a versatile component in various applications due to its unique chemical structure and properties. As a bulking agent, it enhances the texture and spreadability of cosmetic formulations, offering a smooth, slippery feel similar to that of its parent compound, PTFE. This micropowder is particularly valued for its waterproofing potential. PTFE is an exceptionally stable polymer, composed of carbon atoms surrounded by fluorine atoms, resulting in a strong, protective barrier that prevents chemical attacks and reduces friction to remarkably low levels. Its resistance to heat, chemical attack, and notable non-adhesive properties make PTFE micropowder ideal for use in extreme conditions, such as in bearings, valve seats, and gaskets, where durability and performance are paramount. The micropowder can also be incorporated into coatings, taking advantage of its low coefficient of friction, although special surface treatments are needed to enhance adhesion. Furthermore, the electrical properties of PTFE make it a suitable dielectric material for high-temperature applications. Overall, poly(tetrafluoroethylene) micropowder is a critical material that adds value by improving mechanical and thermal properties through the incorporation of various fillers.
