MicroTex 950 is the newest addition to its PTFE replacement portfolio.

Micro Powders, Inc. introduces MicroTex® 950, a texture additive for powder coatings, as the newest addition to its PTFE replacement portfolio. With regulatory restrictions on the horizon for PFAS substances, formulators currently using PTFE-based additives are scrambling to find replacement ingredients. MicroTex 950 is a solution for safe and compliant, high-performance powder coatings. This new ingredient provides uniform fine texturing with the ability to achieve single-digit gloss reduction similar to PTFE texturizers. Early field testing has proven effective results in chemistries including polyester/TGIC, polyester/HAA, and polyester/epoxy. This and several other new products will be on display at stand 5|5-440 at the European Coatings Show in March in Nuremburg, Germany. Micro Powders announced in November 2024 that it will exit the PTFE market by the end of 2025. This decision supports the company’s dedication to providing cutting-edge additive technology that aligns with company values and conforms to global environmental, health, and safety regulations. Over the past several years, Micro Powders has developed a portfolio of PTFE-free re-placement products based on their unique nanocomposite technology. These additives perform as well or even better than their PTFE-containing counterparts, oftentimes at a lower cost. Many customers have already successfully transitioned to these products across a multitude of industries including can and container coatings, graphic arts, and architectural coatings.
