Lubricant additives change a compound’s properties, making them useful in different situations. If your product must have specific characteristics, additives may help. Since manufacturers can include particular ones, you can customize any lubricant ordered, too. That way, you’re not stuck using something less than ideal for the job.
What Are Lubricant Additives?
Depending on the situation, the right lubricant additives would differ. For example, micro powders can be helpful when you have to spread additives around. Since you can disperse them throughout the powder, it’s not hard to coat something with them. That way, the entire product has additives where needed.
What Is a PTFE Micropowder?
One of the most popular applications is as part of a micro powder. Flouro GS may be helpful if you’re looking for something with minor abrasion. So, it would be beneficial when a machine is sensitive to scratches. However, you may want to see if a flour GE emulsion would work better. Sometimes, they’re more practical, depending on the situation. Flouro GT emulsions don’t change much, and they’re rather versatile, too. You can make them using used PTFE.
Dispersion
Using a traditional carrier fluid, such as motor oil, you can create a PTFE dispersion. That way, you can add new properties to what’s being used already. Then, it isn’t hard to customize the product’s performance and make it how you’d like. Also, you can use polyisobutene as a carrier. If using that, you should keep it in low-temp applications, though.
