Release agents. (Brochures).Release agents, dry lubricants and associated products are featured in this 16-page, four-color brochure. 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. PTFE in these formulations is said to provide suspensions of low molecular weight fluoropolymers in a variety of easy forms, according to the literature. 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. are said to make these 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 . The company's formulations are designed to release a wide variety of resins, according to the literature, including rubbers and elastomers, polyurethanes, epoxies, ionomers, phenolics, polystyrene, polyesters, vinyls, and more.
