FluoroSLIP® 421T is a blend of spherical synthetic wax and PTFE.
FluoroSLIP® 421T
Synthetic Wax/PTFE Blend
In 1975, Shamrock discovered that the combination of PTFE and wax provided slip and rub/abrasion resistance that neither could do alone. FluoroSLIP® products are formulated on this principle.
Product Description:
FluoroSLIP® 421T is a blend of spherical synthetic wax and PTFE.
Application:
FluoroSLIP® 421T can be used in both the ink and coatings industries. FluoroSLIP® 421T is recommended for offset inks and water-based, solvent-based and UV systems at 1-3% of the total formulation weight. It is also used in powder coatings.
