PTFE Dispersion Micropowder, or polytetrafluoroethylene powder, is a superfine powder with a particle size of micrometer (usually 1-20 micrometers) processed from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) by special processes (such as emulsion polymerization or radiation degradation). PTFE is a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its excellent chemical stability, high and low temperature resistance and low friction coefficient, and its micropowder form makes it easier to disperse into other materials and use as an additive or modifier. It is widely used in coatings, lubricants, plastic modification, rubber and printing inks, giving the product excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication and corrosion resistance.
The main advantage of PTFE powder lies in its unique physical and chemical properties. It can remain stable in the extreme temperature range of -190°C to 260°C, is not corroded by acids, alkalis or solvents, and has strong chemical resistance. Micropowders have a large specific surface area (up to 10-30 m²/g) and low surface energy (about 18 dyn/cm), giving them an ultra-low friction coefficient (about 0.05-0.1), making them ideal solid lubricants. For example, adding 2%-5% PTFE micropowder to lubricating oil or grease can significantly reduce the wear rate of mechanical parts and extend the life of the equipment. In the coating industry, PTFE micropowder can improve the anti-stickiness and scratch resistance of the coating. It is often used in non-stick pan coatings or industrial mold release agents to reduce surface adhesion and improve production efficiency.
From the application process, the dispersibility of PTFE micropowder is its key characteristic. Micropowders can be evenly mixed into the base material by high-speed stirring or ultrasonic dispersion, such as blending with epoxy resin, polyamide or polyurethane to improve the sliding and wear resistance of the material. In plastic and rubber modification, adding 1%-15% PTFE micropowder can improve the wear resistance and aging resistance of the product, such as reducing friction noise in nylon gears or seals. In addition, PTFE powder can be used as an additive in ink (about 0.5%-3%) to improve printing smoothness and durability, especially to reduce adhesion in high-speed printing. Powder can also be directly formed by cold pressing and sintering process to make small low-friction parts.
However, PTFE powder also has some limitations. Its production cost is high because PTFE raw materials are expensive and the micronization process (such as emulsion polymerization or mechanical grinding) is complicated, especially ultra-fine particle size (<5 microns) products require additional radiation treatment, which increases energy consumption. In addition, PTFE powder may decompose and release toxic gases (such as tetrafluoroethylene) at high temperatures (>400°C), and the processing temperature needs to be strictly controlled. At the same time, its compatibility with certain substrates is poor, and surface modification or coupling agents (such as silane) may be required to improve the dispersion effect, otherwise it may lead to uneven material properties or micropowder agglomeration.
From the development trend, PTFE powder is moving towards a more refined and functional direction. With the advancement of nanotechnology, nano PTFE powder with a particle size of less than 1 micron has gradually emerged. Its higher specific surface area (>50 m²/g) further improves the lubrication and anti-sticking effects, and is suitable for high-end applications such as aviation lubricants or medical device coatings. Under the trend of environmental protection, low-temperature processing and green dispersion technologies (such as aqueous dispersions) have been developed to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and meet regulatory requirements. In addition, new materials composed of PTFE powder and graphene or ceramic particles are being developed, combining multiple properties (such as conductivity and low friction) to broaden its application in new energy and intelligent manufacturing. Overall, PTFE powder occupies an important position in high-performance materials and precision industries due to its excellent performance. In the future, with process optimization, its application potential will be further released.
