SST®-4D is a white low MW PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 3 µm. SST®-4D has a tightly controlled particle size distribution, resulting in fewer oversized particles. SST® products are Shamrock’s PTFE micropowders that are defined by particle size and distribution, molecular weight, crystallinity, surface area, oil adsorption, powder flow, and color. Made primarily from highly controlled recycled PTFE feedstocks, SST® products are used for their ability to provide slip, non-stick, water repellency, texture, release, rub, and abrasion resistance to surfaces.

EBECRYL® 350, developed by CASE Ingredients, is a versatile radiation-curable liquid designed for the automotive and transportation, industrial, and paints and coatings markets. With labeling claims including bisphenol A-free, low-carbon footprint (PCF), solvent-free, and VOC-free, it meets stringent environmental standards. This cloudy liquid offers a range of application methods, such as curtain coating, dip coating, gravure coating, roller coating, and slot-die. Compatible with various substrates, including metal, paper, plastics, and wood, EBECRYL® 350 provides a clear and durable finish, making it suitable for automotive OEM coatings, wood finishes, and various specialty coatings.

PEL-SIL™ CL290 is a organo-modified silicone-based additive consisting of a siloxane backbone and polyethylene-oxide (EO) and polypropylene oxide (PO) side chains. PEL-SIL™ CE 390 has recoatability and low tendency to foam. It is good compatibility with many resin systems. PEL-SIL™ CL290 is an excellent silicone-based additive for improving slip and mar resistance and reducing friction coefficient for solvent-borne, water-borne, and UV/EB cured coating systems. It can be used for coatings in industrial and auto, wood, and overprint vanishes and inks.

SST®-4 is a white low MW PTFE micropowder with particle size distribution at a mean value of 3-4 µm. SST® products are Shamrock’s PTFE micropowders that are defined by particle size and distribution, molecular weight, crystallinity, surface area, oil adsorption, powder flow, and color. Made primarily from highly controlled recycled PTFE feedstocks, SST® products are used for their ability to provide slip, non-stick, water repellency, texture, release, rub, and abrasion resistance to surfaces.

EBECRYL® 341 is a silicone-free slip additive master batch, enhances slip between cured coatings, promoting good inter-coat adhesion and glueability. It is ideal for overprint varnish and other radiation-curable formulations requiring excellent slip properties without the use of silicone additives. Functioning as a slip control agent, EBECRYL® 341 boasts labeling claims of being low-carbon footprint (PCF), VOC-free, bisphenol A-free, and solvent-free. Noteworthy features include a long pot life, high gloss, and a faster cycle time. 

SST®-4P is an off-white to light gray low MW PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 3 µm.
