Advantages and Characteristics of Poly Methyl Urea as PTFE-Alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With our polymethyl urea chemistry (PMU), Deuteron offers an interesting functional alternative to PTFE-based additives. PMU is an organic, halogen-free polymer with a high molecular weight and high cross-linking density. PMU is a non-melting, extremely hard material which also shows a low coefficient of friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ink and coating applications the addition of PMU based additives leads to significantly improved scratch and abrasion resistance and reduces the coefficient of friction (COF) \u2013 in applications where durability and slip are important PMU is an excellent functional alternative to PTFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our PMU based additives are also suitable as PTFE replacements in lubricant applications such as greases and lubricating oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the polarity of the polymer, it can be used in almost any system without compatibility problems and shows excellent wettability and intercoat adhesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our PTFE-free solutions offer the following properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
