DOWSIL™ EP-5500 Powder is a new generation tribological modifier for polyacetal based systems. This additive is an easy to handle, powdery additive.

DOWSIL™ EP-5500 Powder enables you to achieve lower coefficient of friction compared to standard PTFE. Typical additivation levels between 1 and 2 wt% show highly efficient coefficient of friction reduction by at least 50% vs corresponding 15-20 wt% PTFE formulations. These low dosages allow you to recover lost mechanical performances (tensile and impact) vs standard PTFE.

DOWSIL™ EP-5500 Powder is also highly efficient at suppressing stick-slip phenomenon following VDA 230-206 norm.

APPLICATIONS

• Designed for high demanding applications requiring long term COF reduction. Typical examples are bearings, gears and conveyor belts; window lifting systems and steering column sensors; housings and roller shutter systems; kitchen and household appliances and sports equipment.
