Over the past several years, Micro Powders has developed a portfolio of PTFE-free replacement products based on their nanocomposite technology.

Micro Powders, Inc. announces its exit from the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 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 replacement 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.
¡°We developed our advanced nanocomposite technology in 2019 and now offer the largest portfolio of industry-leading PTFE replacement additives that allow our customers to remove PFAS based materials from their formulas,¡± said Gary Strauss, president, Micro Powders. ¡°We understand how important it is for formulators to quickly pivot to the right additives that address developing regulatory challenges without sacrificing the performance of their coatings.¡±
Micro Powders looks forward to helping customers find the ideal replacement additive to remain compliant in their industry and enhance formulations.
