EU Regulatory Compliant PTFE
Shamrock offers a range of EU Regulatory Compliant (RC) PTFE micropowders made from Natural prime and Recycled raw materials.
Shamrock’s RC PTFE products are produced to be in compliance with Commission Delegated Regulation adopted on April 8th 2020 amending Annex I to POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 taking effect on July 4th 2020 (per Shamrock QSOP-202E).
Shamrock RC PTFE products are used to reduce friction and wear between contacting surfaces and are available in a range of particle sizes, molecular weights, and thermal stability which can be used in engineering plastics, elastomers, and thermosets.
Addendum:
The EU has added C9-C14 PFCAs and C9-C14 PFCA-related substances under ANNEX XVII of REACH. The new law will become effective on February 25, 2023.
On August 5, 2021, the European Union (EU) published Regulation (EU) 2021/1297 to replace entry 68 to Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH, consolidated version to July 2021) in relation to ‘Restrictions on the manufacturing, placing on the market and use of certain dangerous substances, mixtures and articles.’
Thermoplastic Additives
Shamrock recommends the use of PTFE to provide performance properties such as wear resistance, slip and anti-dripping.
Shamrock micronized PTFE powders are used to provide performance properties such as wear resistance, surface slip, and anti-drip. These free flowing powders are normally pre-mixed into master-batches or compounds in the resin of choice at levels from 20-40% by weight, to facilitate uniform distribution and performance in the final part.
MicroFLON® T-Series
MicroFLON® T powders are based on recycled PTFE that has been sintered and micronized to various particle sizes. These powders are designed for thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers to reduce friction and enhance wear properties. They may be used compounds based on nylon, POM, PC, PP, ABS, blends, as well as a variety of elastomers and thermosets.
