Products in Glass Coatings: Fluoropolymers

FluorAcryl 7298 is a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) used as an additive in other UV curable coatings to reduce surface tension and improve water, oil and stain resistance. Films and coatings with 7298 may be expected to provide anti-fouling and easy cleaning from fingerprints and other contaminants. FluorAcryl 7298 is compatible with many monomers, such as TMPTA. With or without pigments and other particulates, 7298 rapidly UV cures in the presence or absence of oxygen.

FluoroSyl 3750 is hydrophobic and oleophobic perfluoropolyether derivatives. These coatings provides long-lasting, anti-fouling, anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge properties to properly cleaned surfaces. FluoroSyl bonds to glass, plastic and metal surfaces. This produces an easy-to-clean, low surface energy, low refractive index, transparent, oil, water and stain repellent coating that is less than 10 nanometers thick.

Marzon 638 is a polysiloxane-infused PTFE micro powder, providing a unique hybrid of fluoropolymer and silicone. The silicone network within the PTFE provides improved compatibility with various polymer-based coating systems. As an additive in coatings, it imparts higher gloss and lower coefficient of friction when compared with other fluoropolymer additive .It is particularly well suited for fiberglass or fiberglass-containing substrate

FluoroSyl™ 3750 is an antifouling coating that repels water, oil, foods and fingerprints.

Marzon Z-2 is a comonomer—modified PTFE micropowder, providing unique thermal characteristics. The lower molecular weight of this PTFE polymer in combination with the comonomer provides greater tractability and some melt flow characteristics, in contrast to a PTFE homopolymer micropowder. As an additive in coatings, it imparts higher gloss, and promotes continuous film development when compared with other fluoropolymer additives. Yet it retains the chemical resistance characteristics for which PTFE is renowned.

FluorAcryl 1939 is a bifunctional perfluoropolyether (PFPE) urethane acrylate. FluorAcryl is a surface modifier that improves gloss. It is compatible and miscible with low molecular weight reactive UV-curable diluents and acrylic monomers. Some of the properties of FluorAcryl 1939 include good release agent, good water and oil repellency and good chemical resistance. As a surface modifier this also offers good hardness, substrate-wetting and flow-properties. Recommended dosage is between 0.5–5% w/w. During application and UV light curing, FluorAcryl blooms quickly and effectively on the surface of the coating, imparting low surface energy and non-stick E2C properties. FluorAcryl is made for UV curable coatings use.

FluoroSyl is triethoxysilane terminated, bifunctional perfluoropolyether (PFPE) designed as a low surface energy treatment for glass, siliceous surfaces, metals, and other substrates that have hydroxyl (–OH) groups on the surface. FluoroSyl is a hydrophobic and oleophobic coating. FluoroSyl provides long-lasting, antifouling, anti-fingerprint, and anti-smudge properties. FluoroSyl 880 is a good replacement for Fluorolink S10.
