PFAS-Free PTFE Replacement
As a PFAS-free alternative to PTFE micropowders, Pergopak M7 delivers comparable or even lower friction values, higher hardness and abrasion resistance, and easier dispersion across all formulation systems. It eliminates environmental and regulatory concerns associated with fluorinated compounds, making it a future-ready solution for sustainable coatings. “Pergopak M7 opens a new dimension in sliding applications—delivering PTFE-level performance without the environmental drawbacks.”
Application Areas
Pergopak M7 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Thin-Film Coatings (e.g., digital printing, overprint varnishes)
- Surface Protection & Haptics
- Lubricants & Slip Additives
- Can & Coil Coatings
- Adhesives & Specialty Polymers
Unmatched Performance in Ultra-Fine Matting and PFAS-Free Surface Technology
Pergopak® M7 empowers formulators with a next-generation matting agent that combines ultra-fine particle control, mechanical excellence, and environmental responsibility. Whether you're replacing PTFE or enhancing surface aesthetics, Pergopak M7 delivers unmatched performance across key coating metrics.
In friction reduction tests, Pergopak M7 consistently achieves lower coefficients of friction than PTFE, making it a powerful solution for sliding applications and surface protection. Its ultra-fine particle size enables smoother finishes and superior slip behavior, ideal for high-performance coatings.
Gloss control is another standout feature. Pergopak M7 provides precise matting with minimal haze, ensuring clean, uniform surfaces even in thin-film applications like overprint varnishes and digital printing. Compared to coarser Pergopak grades and silica-based matting agents, M7 offers enhanced clarity and visual appeal.
Surface roughness results show that Pergopak M7 performs comparably to fine PTFE waxes, delivering a refined tactile experience without compromising durability. Additionally, its low turbidity ensures coatings remain visually clear and consistent, even at higher concentrations.
With its combination of ultra-fine particle technology, low friction performance, and PFAS-free formulation, Pergopak® M7 is the ideal choice for formulators seeking sustainable, high-performance additives for advanced coating systems.
