Shamrock Technologies’ latest developments in Surface Effect Additives. We are showcasing our smooth-feel ultrafine Textures, easy-to-add wax additives and dispersions as featured in the AquaFLON, Hydrocer and Neptune product lines. Shamrock has released several new products in addition to their existing product lines. These products include CSP 87NS, FSP UV-808, FSP UV-515T, CeraTHIX 58R, CeraTHIX 68ST, and S-156.

The AquaFLON series is engineered to overcome the inherent incompatibilities between micronized PTFE and water. Ranging from micron-sized dispersions to sub-micron emulsions, these high solids, ready to use lube packages provide optimum slip and mar resistance in aqueous systems. They are designed with features optimized for easy incorporation into water based systems.

The Hydrocer product line incorporates micronized wax powders from our S-series waxes in a pre-wetted form to provide maximum handling efficiency with performance properties such as controlled slip, abrasion resistance, and release. If these products separate, simple mixing with paddle or propeller mixer, is all that will be required to redisperse.

The Neptune product line is engineered for ease of dispersibility of waxes in water. This product line is composed of hydrophilized synthetic waxes, thus making them excellent for polar systems to provide mar and scuff resistance, slip and ease of dispersibility in water based formulas.

Shamrock creates the innovative products our customers need to grow their businesses. For more than 75 years, Shamrock advances have driven the use of PTFE and wax additives in a wide range of applications including inks, coatings, lubricants, thermoplastics, and personal care products. Shamrock is the global leader in PTFE additives, pioneering their use for inks and coatings and offering an extensive product line including PTFE powders, specialty waxes, compounds, and premium dispersions. These “problem solvers” enhance our customers’ products by controlling slip, rub/abrasion resistance, surface texture, matting, feel, and water repellency.
