SST®-5 is a white low MW PTFE micro powder with particle size distribution at a mean value of 3 µm. SST® products are Shamrock’s PTFE micro powders that are defined by particle size and distribution, molecular weight, crystallinity, surface area, oil adsorption, powder flow, and color. Made primarily from highly controlled recycled PTFE feedstocks, SST® products are used for their ability to provide slip, non-stick, water repellency, texture, release, rub, and abrasion resistance to surfaces.
