Release agents and dry lubricants.Release agents, dry lubricants and associated products are featured in the company's 16-page, four-color brochure. The company's release agents and dry lubricants are said to offer high quality, value and purity. The firm is said to provide alternatives which meet today's rapidly changing needs, while maintaining a bridge to formulations of the past. During the transition from chlorofluorocarbon chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Any of several organic compounds containing carbon, fluorine, and chlorine. A number of different CFCs have been made and sold under the trade name Freon. carriers to friendlier ozone-impact solutions, the company is said to continue to provide its customers with a wide selection of alternative products in both aerosol and bulk liquid form. PTFE PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene. (polytetrafluoroethylene polytetrafluoroethylene a synthetic material commonly used as a nonstick lining in domestic cooking utensils (frypans); abbreviated PTFE; called also Teflon. Overheating produces toxic fumes that cause an acute hemorrhagic pneumonitis and death in small caged birds, which are ) has been the active ingredient in the company's release agent/dry lubricant formulations for many years. Based on Teflon chemistry, PTFE in the company's formulations is said to provide suspensions of low molecular weight fluoropolymers in a variety of easy forms. PTFE's outstanding lubricity and low coefficient of friction coefficient of friction n. pl. coefficients of friction The ratio of the force that maintains contact between an object and a surface and the frictional force that resists the motion of the object. make the company's products not only ideal for mold release applications, but also for dry lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of , according to the literature. The firm's mold release agents are said to work longer, yielding more release cycles for each application. This is said to result in higher productivity.
