PTFE Wax for Print Rub & Scratch Resistance
CAS Number: 9002-84-0
Micronized polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) wax delivers the lowest coefficient of friction of any wax additive in printing inks, providing exceptional scratch, rub, and mar resistance for high-quality packaging, label, and commercial printing applications. PTFE is chemically inert, thermally stable, and compatible with UV-curable, solvent-based, and waterborne ink systems, making it the premium choice for inks that must survive demanding downstream converting processes.
