A wettable, bondable PTFE whisker used in composites to impart some fluoropolymer characteristics to a host polymer.Aclon® is the first and only wettable, bondable PTFE whisker available to industry. Added to other polymers in loading amounts as little as 5%, it More... imparts some of the properties, especially lubricity, to the host polymer. Each particle of Aclon® actually bonds to the host polymer thus reinforcing it to provide a harder, stronger composite. Aclon enhances the performance in a variety of applications including coatings, lubricant pastes, sealants and thermoplastics and elastomers. The development of Aclon has led to further research in the surface modification of other forms of fluoropolymer materials. The research and development laboratories at Acton Technologies has succeeded in modifying the surface of extremely small particles of PTFE. For more information, contact Acton Technologies. Less
HgX® (Mercury Decontaminant)
HgX® (Mercury Decontaminant)
For the reduction of toxic mercury vapor, HgX® is an inexpensive, water soluble, non-hazardous, metallic-mercury/sulfide converting powder with a chelating compound and dispersing agent. It reacts rapidly, forming a film over the finely divided, nearly invisible More... beads of mercury and reacting to produce a non-vaporizing sulfide. Further, HgX® keeps on working. Particles of HgX® left on cleaned surfaces are reactivated during subsequent cleaning. Less

2011-1121 THE TREATMENT OF PTFE FOR BONDING
In order to achieve some perspective, any discussion of the treatment of fluorocarbon polymers for bonding should include at least a few comments on methods that have been tried in the past. The need to render the surface of these polymers wetable, and therefore bondable, arose almost as soon as their extremely low coefficient of friction was realized. The most common fluoropolymer is PTFE and its most easily identified property is its lubricity...(read attached)
