MPI EXITING PTFE MARKET 2025

Tarrytown, NY – November 2024 – Micro Powders, Inc. announces its exit from the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) market by the end of 2025.

This decision supports the company’s dedication to providing cutting-edge additive technology that aligns with company values and conforms to global environmental, health, and safety regulations.

Over the past several years, Micro Powders has developed a portfolio of PTFE-free replacement products based on their unique nanocomposite technology. These additives perform as well or even better than their PTFE-containing counterparts, oftentimes at a lower cost. Many customers have already successfully transitioned to these products across a multitude of industries including can and container coatings, graphic arts, and architectural coatings.

“We developed our advanced nanocomposite technology in 2019 and now offer the largest portfolio of industry-leading PTFE replacement additives that allow our customers to remove PFAS based materials from their formulas,” said Gary Strauss, President, Micro Powders. “We understand how important it is for formulators to quickly pivot to the right additives that address developing regulatory challenges without sacrificing the performance of their coatings.”

Micro Powders looks forward to helping customers find the ideal replacement additive to remain compliant in their industry and enhance formulations. For more information and to request testing samples, or to get in touch for a consultation, visit PTFEreplacement.com.
