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.
