Fluoroguard™
Polymer Additive

Technical Information
Description

GradesFluoroguard is a colorless, odorless, nonflammable, andchemically inert polymer additive based on fluorinatedsynthetic oil (perfluoropolyether). It has excellent
color and UV/thermal stability. Added to plastics andelastomers, it improves processing characteristics andproperties of polymer compounds. Fluoroguard™ internallylubricates to improve flow properties, processibility,throughput, uniform mixing/dispersion of ingredients, andoffers other advantages over competitive process aids.
Fluoroguard™ improves product performance by increasing
wear and flex fatigue resistance, and making parts lastlonger. In addition, Fluoroguard™ eliminates marring andscratching of polymer surfaces. It also offers otherbenefits, such as improved physical properties, productgloss, surface lubricity, and reduced coefficient of friction(COF) and squeak/noise.

Three grades of Fluoroguard™—PCA, SG, and PRO—are available for different application areas of polymer
processing and compounds. Fluoroguard™ PCA andSG are based on high molecular weight oils, while
Fluoroguard™ PRO is based on low molecular weight oils.
Fluoroguard™ PCA is primarily used for enhancing productperformance, while processing benefits are additional
advantages. Fluoroguard™ SG is a purified form and meets
USP Plastics Class VI requirements (NAMSA tested).
Fluoroguard™ PRO is primarily intended for use as aprocess aid.
