However, the manufacturing process of PTFE micropowders often results in the formation of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs), which are already subject to strict regulations. Also, more and more restrictions on per-or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in general are expected in the near future. Hence, it is crucial to identify alternatives to PTFE-containing products that can achieve comparable properties in can coatings. This study compares our company's PTFE-free wax additives with conventional PTFE-containing products. Polytetrafluoroethylene is an additive that is commonly used in coating formulations. It provides excellent abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and reduces the coefficient of ...
