Polyfluo®
400XF
POLYFLUO 400XF is a special grade of micronized
modified fluorocarbon which has been developed to provide
maximum slip and lubricity when added to printing inks,
paints and surface coatings. POLYFLUO 400XF has
been micronized to a 1.0-1.5 NPIRI grind gauge reading
for easier dispersion and better gloss properties. Incorporation
into most coatings can be easily achieved with high speed
mixing equipment. There is no need for prior compounding
or grinding due to the fine particle size of the POLYFLUO
400XF. At low levels, POLYFLUO 400XF will impart
a high degree of lubricity along with excellent rub resistance
when added to inks, paints and coatings.
Recommended areas of usage are: heat-set offset, quick
set, ultra-violet and metal decorating inks, overprint
varnishes, as well as, industrial paints such as coil
and can coatings.
Optimum properties are usually achieved by adding 1-2%
by weight when the POLYFLUO 400XF is used as
the sole slip additive. In some cases, more desirable
slip properties are achieved by adding the POLYFLUO
400XF in combination with micronized waxes or polyethylenes.
When used in combination with the above types, a 2:1
ratio (wax or polyethylene: POLYFLUO 400XF) is
recommended. A concentration of 1/2-1% by weight of
the POLYFLUO 400XF is recommended when it is
used in combination.
