Product Information
Description

Food Contact Compliance

Zonyl MP 1200 fluoroadditive is a white, free-flowing,
PTFE powder designed for use as an additive inother materials or as a dry lubricant. It can be used attemperatures from –190 °C to 250 °C (–310 °F to480 °F) and is inert to nearly all industrial chemicals andsolvents. It is a good electrical insulator, does not absorb
water, and is highly resistant to weathering. Its properties
are summarized in Table 1.

Products are generally not recommended for foodcontact. For details and information, please contact yourChemours representative.

™

Zonyl™ MP 1200 can impart:• Low surface energy• Improved lubricity and wear in plastics and elastomers• Improved performance in lubricants under severeconditions• Improved nonstick and antifriction properties
Typical Applications
Zonyl™ MP 1200 is used as an additive (at approximately1–3% by weight) in the preparation of offset, gravure, andflexographic printing inks. It improves certain properties,
such as rub and slip resistance. It is used in combination
with polyethylene waxes to obtain the desired degree ofproperty modification. Due to its small particle size andnarrow particle size distribution, Zonyl™ MP 1200 has
been found useful in a variety of coating systems. Typicalloadings of 5–20% by weight are used in plastics andelastomers.
• Provides improvements in corrosion inhibition

Safety Precautions
WARNING! VAPORS CAN BE LIBERATED THAT MAY BE
HAZARDOUS IF INHALED.
Before using Zonyl™ fluoroadditives, refer to the Safety
Data Sheet and the latest edition of “The Guide to theSafe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins,” published byPlastics Industry Association (www.fluoropolymers.org) or
PlasticsEurope (www.plasticseurope.org).
Open and use containers only in well-ventilated areasusing local exhaust ventilation (LEV). Vapors and fumes
liberated during hot processing of Zonyl™ fluoroadditives
should be exhausted completely from the work area.
Contamination of tobacco with these polymers must
be avoided. Vapors and fumes liberated during hot
processing that are not properly exhausted, or fromsmoking tobacco or cigarettes contaminated with Zonyl™
fluoroadditives, may cause flu-like symptoms, such aschills, fever, and sore throat. This may not occur until
several hours after exposure and will typically pass within
about 24 hours.
Mixtures with some finely divided metals, such as
magnesium or aluminum, can be flammable or explosive
under some conditions.
