DryFilm RA-IPA Dispersion
DryFilm RA-IPA is a dispersion of PTFE at 25% solids in isopropanol (IPA). It is commonly used as a dry film lubricant, mold release agent, and coating additive.
DryFilm RA-IPA consists of PTFE particles dispersed in isopropanol. It is used to form thin-film coatings with an extremely low coefficient of friction. Films formed by DryFilm RA-IPA are chemically inert, nonmigrating, and stable in extreme temperatures, making it an ideal dry film lubricant, mold release agent, and antifouling additive.
It is an ideal mold release agent for formulating release coatings used in challenging molding applications. DryFilm RA-IPA exhibits minimal adhesion to mold materials and typically provides multiple releases between applications without transfer to the molded part.
DryFilm RA-IPA can also be added to other formulations, such as paints, coatings, and inks, to improve lubricity and prevent fouling. It may also be used in waxes and polishes for additional lubrication.
When dry, DryFilm RA-IPA forms a film that provides lubrication for applications that require smooth, repeated movements. It is an ideal dry film lubricant for gears, electrical switches, and bearings. Dust and dirt pickup on surfaces is minimized with this lubricant since only a dry film is formed, as opposed to wet lubricants that will attract and retain debris on these surfaces.
DryFilm RA-IPA is also used in automotive assembly to keep automated processes running smoothly and efficiently. It is an ideal lubricant for interior automotive parts where oils and greases are too challenging to work with, where it minimizes friction leading to excessive cabin noise.
