Properties and Uses of Fluon® PTFE Micropowders
The unique combination of properties of PTFE are well known throughout industry due to its ability to resist nearly all chemical attack and operate between temperatures in the cryogenic range up to 260°C. Many non-industrial people will also be aware of PTFE through its prevalence as a non-stick coating for frying pans and other cookware.
Fluon® PTFE Micropowders are manufactured by controlled degradation of virgin PTFE fine powder or granules, and this allows them to be used in different ways in order to enhance the friction and wear properties of other materials.

The company’s corporate vision ‘Chemistry for a Blue Planet’ is about how chemistry can contribute to environmental solutions
This mission is supported by four pillars:
Safety
‘Safety first’ is the byword at every AGC Chemicals workplace. The safety of the end users of our products and of those who work at our facilities around the world, is at the forefront of everything we do.
Security
We insist that the products and chemicals we manufacture serve society and give people a sense of security. We are committed to doing business in a socially responsible way and to earning the trust of all of the stakeholders we deal with.
Comfort
We believe that human comfort and convenience are absolutely compatible with environmental stewardship. Chemistry has the potential to deliver solutions that satisfy both consumer demands and environmental imperatives.
Environment
We are proud to supply the chemicals needed to make products that contribute to sustainability, such as coatings to make solar panels work more efficiently and polyurethane foam to insulate homes. At the same time we are constantly developing and improving processes that save energy and prevent environmental pollution.
In short, the products we produce must benefit the earth and its people.
