On September 12th, the AMl Plastics World Expo concluded successfully.Fine-Blend's introduction of a new environmentally friendly abrasion resistance agent, free from Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), garnered widespread attention at the exhibition. The launch of this innovative abrasion resistance product marks a significant step forward forFine-Blendin the field of eco-friendly materials, offering the industry a safer, more sustainable solution.
It is reported that the most commonly used traditional anti-wear agent is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which contains fluorine and has very stable carbon-fluorine bonds. Although PTFE does not contain PFAS, PFAS may appear as an additive or by-product during the production and processing of PTFE. PFAS are difficult to degrade and pose potential risks to the environment and human health. The European Union has officially enacted legislation to restrict the use of such substances. Therefore, promoting the development of alternatives is a key measure to reduce the use of PFAS without affecting product performance. At the same time, it will also reduce the potential risks of PFAS to the global ecosystem.
At the AMI Expo, the PFAS-free abrasion resistance agent product—BP-231—was showcased for the first time, representing years of research and development by the team.Fine-Blend's PFAS-free abrasion resistance agent effectively avoids these issues and complies with current environmental regulations. Despite being free from PFAS, the product performs as well as traditional products in terms of abrasion resistance and even outperforms them in some applications. This new type of abrasion resistance agent can be widely used in various fields such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, presenting enormous market potential. This groundbreaking product attracted numerous visitors and industry insiders, becoming a highlight of the exhibition.
The AMI Expo providedFine-Blendwith a platform for in-depth communication with global customers and peers, fostering technical sharing and industry cooperation. The successful development of this product reflectsFine-Blend's commitment and responsibility towards environmental protection, showcasing the company's leadership in driving the industry towards greener, low-carbon transformation.
