![PTFE Nanopowder/Nanoparticles [Polytetrafluoroethylene, (C2F4)n)]](http://amiscientific.com/cdn/shop/files/ptfe-nanopowder__41391.1779264423.1280.1280.png?v=1787820009&width=1445)
This Nanografi product is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanopowder, a fluoropolymer with the formula (C2F4)n, supplied at 99.9% purity. The white, odorless powder has a median particle size (D50) of 260 nm, a specific surface area of 4.57 m²/g, and does not dissolve in water.
PTFE is known for a very low coefficient of friction, strong resistance to chemicals, non-stick behaviour and good electrical insulation. These traits make the nanopowder a useful starting material for R&D on polymer composites, functional coatings, surface modification and tribological materials. It stays chemically stable at normal temperatures, but overheating can lead to hazardous thermal decomposition.
Note that the D50 value describes the median of the measured size distribution, not the smallest particle size. Performance in any formulation depends on dispersion, processing conditions and matrix compatibility, so suitability should be confirmed through experimental testing. Research-grade material should not be assumed suitable for food-contact or other regulated coatings.
- Formulating protective, non-stick, hydrophobic and low-friction coatings.
- Adding to polymer matrices to improve wear resistance and lower friction.
- Serving as a solid lubricant additive in specialized greases and wear-resistant materials.
- Developing dielectric coatings and insulating polymer composites.
- Research on PTFE as a binder in dry electrode processing for lithium-ion batteries.
- Building seals and protective components for chemically aggressive environments.

Keep the powder in a tightly sealed container under the conditions given in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Control processing temperatures, as overheated PTFE can release hazardous decomposition products, and use adequate ventilation and exposure controls during thermal processing. Handle the powder in a way that minimizes airborne particles and follow the SDS and workplace safety procedures.
