Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about K Tint PTFE in inks and pigments applications

PTFE's fluoropolymer structure provides the lowest surface energy and friction coefficient of any solid wax, offering unmatched slip, wear resistance, and chemical inertness.

Its strong C-F bonds provide exceptional chemical inertness, its very low surface energy delivers extreme slip, and its high melting point retains performance under heat-set conditions.

Yes, its high melting point (310–330°C) ensures stable performance under heat-set oven conditions, and its chemical inertness maintains compatibility with UV resin systems.

Typical usage levels are 0.5–2%, as PTFE delivers significant performance improvement at very low loadings due to its highly efficient surface migration mechanism.

K TINT-PTFE is formulated to provide extreme slip protection with minimal impact on gloss, maintaining the desired finish while delivering outstanding surface durability.
