Solvay Solexis offers a variety of surface protection materials designed to enhance the performance, lengthen the service life and protect the properties of various finishes such as textile, leather, stone, and metal.
Fluorolink® is a line of perfluoropolyether surface treating agents. Depending on the desired technical and functional needs of the end-use applications, the use of the correct amount of Fluorolink® PFPE can modify and improve the performance of various substrates such as ceramic, stone, etc. By preferentially migrating to the surface, the perfluorinated moieties improve such characteristics as hydro and oil repellency, chemical resistance, coefficient of friction and wear resistance. The fluorine also gives the surface a self-lubricating behavior.
Fluorolink® covers the surface with a permanent and very thin layer of fluorinated product. It may be specifically designed to interact with a particular substrate such as metal, metal oxide, ceramic, stone, cellulose, and paper. Fluorolink® reduces surface energy and imparts to the surface the combination of characteristics such as hydro and oil repellency, easy stain removal, anti-adhesion, and self-lubricity properties.
Solvera® improves the oil, fat, and grease repellency, and printability of paper and paperboard. Solvera® is used in demanding applications such as petfood bags, quick food service wraps, pizza boxes, and microwave popcorn bags.
