Fluon+™ FL1710Z

1 of 219 products in this brand
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ FL1710Z is a white finely divided PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) micropowder which is easy to disperse in a wide range of liquids. FL1710Z is particularly suitable for use in surface coatings, metal decorating inks, low viscosity lubricating oils and is readily dispersed in liquids using either high or low shear mixing. This combination of properties makes FL 1710Z very useful in coating formulations and makes it suitable for use in food contact applications.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Packaging

FL1710Z is supplied in 25 kg laminated fiber board kegs.

Storage & Handling

Storage

The powder is contained within two polythene liners, individually sealed. Kegs of FL1710Z should be stored in cool, dry condiions prior to use.

Handling Precautions
  • Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.
  • Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
