Fluoro additive AW-321 is a white free flowing PTFE powder specialized for use as an additive to
impart low surface energy and other fluoropolymer attributes. AW-321 is well suited for added in inks and coatings where a narrow particle size distribution is desired. With plastics and rubbers, it could improve lubricity and wear resistance. Added to lubricants, it can enhance performance under severe conditions. AW-321 can be used at temperature from -190℃ to 250℃(-310℉ to 480℉).
AW-321 is generally designed to be used as an additive, although it can also be used alone as a dry lubricant. It is unsuitable to be used as a molding or extrusion resin to replace for any of the high molecular weight PTFE resin. AW-321 is inert to all chemicals and solvents. It is a good electrical insulator, dose not absorb water, and is highly resistant to weathering.
AW-321 is packaged in 25-kg/ carton. 9,18,27 cartons are packaged on one pallet f or easy shipping, handling and storage.
Before using AW-321 please read the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS-available from Fulcrum)
carefully. Open and use containers only in well-ventilated areas using local exhaust ventilation. Vapor and fumes liberated during hot processing, or from smoking tobacco or cigarettes contaminated with AW-321, may cause flu-like symptoms(chill, fever, sore throat). Vapor and fumes liberated during hot processing should be exhausted completely from work area. Contamination of
tobacco with AW-321 should be avoided. Mixtures with some finely divided metals, such as magnesium or aluminum, can be flammable or explosive under some conditions.
AW-321 is used as an additive (at approximately 1-3% by weight) in printing inks to improve certain properties, such as rub resistance, slip, surface smoothness and gloss. It can also reduce the “blocking”. Typically, AW-321 is used in combination with polyethylene waxes to get the property modification. Due to its small particle size and narrow particle size distribution, AW-321 can be use in a variety of coating system to improve nonstick, anti friction, corrosion inhibition properties. It can also reduce the friction coefficient and increase the rub resistance. Plastics and elastomers containing AW-321 have shown improved lubricity and reduced friction and wear. Typical loadings of 5-20% by weight were used.
