PTFE Micropowder for Lubricants
PTFE micropowder is a solid-lubricant additive for selected oils, greases, coatings and dry-film systems. Final performance depends on particle morphology, dosage, base oil and additive package.
Reference micropowder profiles
| Profile | Reference family | Typical particle range | Suggested use | Reference dosage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CONflon MP-5 | Fine PTFE micropowder | 3–8 µm | Low-friction coatings and greases | 1–5% |
| CONflon MP-20 | Coarser PTFE micropowder | 15–25 µm | Industrial oils and high-load greases | 2–10% |
Reference-data notice: Particle range and dosage are formulation starting points, not product specifications.
Formulation guidance
Use laboratory dispersion and stability testing. Confirm sedimentation, filterability, wear behaviour and compatibility with seals before production use.
Frequently asked questions
Why add PTFE micropowder to lubricants?
PTFE micropowder can reduce friction and improve wear behaviour in selected oils, greases, coatings and dry-film systems.
What dosage should be used?
Start with the published reference range and optimise the dosage through formulation and application testing.
