Fluon+™ TL-171EZ
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Low Viscosity
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ TL-171EZ is a white PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) micropowder which is easy to disperse in a wide range of liquids. The reduced total surface areas of Fluon+ TL-171EZ minimizes viscosity increase during mixing. The particles are soft, however, and retain good film forming capability. This combination of properties makes Fluon+ TL-171EZ very useful in coating formulations. Fluon® TL-171EZ is suitable for use in food contact applications.

- Handling Precautions
Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.. Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
