TFMA
FluoroPel TFMA is a fluorosurfactant dry melt additive for plastic devices such as pipette tips, tubing and micro-centrifuge tubes. The surfactant blooms on the device to provide water contact angles greater than 110 degrees. Contact angles to mineral oil is greater than 75 degrees. TFMA is compounded into polypropylene at 0.5% to make pipette tips and other plastic devices water, oil and organics repellent. TFMA prevents water, oil, buffers, solvents, biological-fluids, and other materials from sticking to device surfaces. TFMA is used in industrial, research, and medical applications. Size: 200 grams Application methods: Dry melt additive for injection molding Color: Colorless Water contact angle: over 110° Mineral oil contact angle: over 75° TFMA is a hydrophobic dry-melt compounding additive for polypropylene. TFMA is provided as a solid that is usually ground into a fine powder by a compounder. Compounding is a process, in which a polymer resin is melted and mixed with additives s
