SST® –5 by Shamrock Technologies is a white low molecular weight PTFE micropowder with particle size distribution at a mean value of 3 µm. Acts as a slip, mar/scuff, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, gloss retention, rub and abrasion resistance properties. SST® –5 is recommended for use in offset inks. SST®-5 is also recommended for all water-based, solvent-based, powder, and UV systems at 0.5-3% of the total formula weight (or 0.5-1% when used with 2-3% of Shamrock’s S Series waxes). It meets the requirements of 21 CFR 175.105, 175.300, 176.170, and 176.180. SST® 3 by Shamrock Technologies is a micronized PTFE powder. Insoluble, heat resistant, easy to incorporate and highly efficient. Used in web printing, sheet-fed lithographic metal decorating inks, can, coil, industrial and UV coatings. SST® –4D by Shamrock is a white low molecular weight PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 3 µm. Acts as a slip, mar/scuff, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, gloss retention, rub and abrasion resistance properties. It has a tightly controlled particle size distribution, resulting in fewer oversized particles. SST® –4D is recommended for use in offset inks and thin film coatings. SST®-4D is also recommened for use in water-based, solvent-based, powder, and UV systems at 1-2% of the total formula weight. It meets the requirements of 21 CFR 175.105, 175.300, 176.170, and 176.180. SST® –3D by Shamrock is a white low molecular weight PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 5 µm. Acts as a slip, scratch, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, scratch-, rub and abrasion resistance properties. SST® –3D by Shamrock is recommended for use in offset and liquid inks. SST®-3D is also recommeneded for use in powder, water-based, solvent-based and UV coatings at 0.5-3% of total formula weight when used alone, or at 0.5-1% when used with 2-3% synthetic wax. SST® –3PS by Shamrock is a charcoal gray colored low molecular weight PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 5 µm. Acts as a slip, mar/scuff, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, gloss retention, rub and abrasion resistance properties. SST® –3PS is recommended in offset and liquid inks. SST®-3PS is also recommeneded for use in powder, water-based, solvent-based, and UV coatings. The recommended dosage of SST®-3PS in ink formulations is 0.5-1% of the total formula weight when used with wax. In coatings SST®-3PS is recommened at 1-2% of total formula weight. SST® –4P by Shamrock is an off-white to light gray low molecular weight PTFE powder with a particle size mean value of 3 µm. Acts as a slip, mar/scuff, rub and abrasion resistance agent. Provides slip (low COF), high temperature resistance, gloss retention, rub and abrasion resistance properties. SST® –4P is used in both the inks and thin-film coatings applications due to its small particle size. SST®-4P is recommended in offset and liquid inks. SST®-4P is also recommended for use in powder, water-based, solvent-based, and UV coatings. Typical applications include can and plastic coatings. Micronized PTFE powder.
