PTFE Lubricant Additive - Micronized PTFE Powder
Lowerfriction MK-PTFE-270 is a white free flowing, micronized PTFE powder. It is utilized as a low friction component in lubricants, greases, oils, coatings, inks, thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers. According to the brochure, its D50 particle size is under 3 microns.
The powder is employed in formulations where decreased friction and mechanical wear, improved slip and abrasion resistance, release performance, dielectric behavior or surface modification are required. MK-PTFE-270 is a micronized PTFE lubricant additive, not a finished PTFE lubricant.
Product Availability: Lowerfriction provides MK-PTFE-270 in 1 kilogram, 5 kg and 25 kg pack sizes. Buyers are advised to verify the most current product data sheet, pricing, sample availability, recurring supply requirements and existing inventory before making an order.

Industrial Applications of PTFE Powder
| Application / Formulation | Product Function | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lubricants, greases and oils | Micronized PTFE lubricant additive for enhanced tribological qualities, reduced mechanical wear, and decreased friction. | Verify final performance, loading level, dispersion, and carrier compatibility. |
| Dry-lube and low stick-slip systems | When slip and smoother motion are needed, micronized solid additive is used. | MK-PTFE-270 is not a complete dry lubricant; rather, it is an additive. |
| Paints, inks and coatings | Supports surface finish, texture, release behavior, rub resistance, slide resistance, and mar resistance. | Examine the final system's gloss, adhesion, and abrasion performance. |
| Thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers | Supports dimensional stability, toughness, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion. | Verify the mechanical-property goals, filler loading, and processing temperature. |
| Release coatings, waxes and polishes | Supports water resistance, surface finish, non-stick behavior, and low surface energy. | Verify the durability, adhesion, release behavior, and quality of the film. |
| Electrical and electronic coatings | Offers electrical insulation and dielectric qualities. | Prior to specification, confirm the electrical, thermal, and processing requirements. |
Choosing a PTFE Lubricant Additive
Choose MK-PTFE-270 when a micronized solid additive with a D50 particle size below 3 micron is required for friction reduction, wear resistance, slip, release, surface modification or dielectric performance. Product suitability depends on the carrier or resin, loading level, processing temperature, substrate, surface requirements and end-use conditions.
