Lubricity
Lubricity Friction represents a significant waste of power not to mention maintenance cost. In manufacturing and operating contexts where tiniest improvements help with differentiation, engineers are now concentrating their efforts in wear reduction. Fluoropolymers and materials based on fluorine, undisputably offer the mechanical strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance to help parts move better, faster and last longer.
ABOUT
Low friction solutions to optimize production processes
In a production process, parts having a lower coefficient of friction benefit from longer life cycles, reduce replacement costs and increase processes' efficiency and speed. DAIKIN fluoropolymers and expertises support the manufacturing processes involving frequent friction thanks to materials suitable for gears, seals, and bearings. Made with DAIKIN NEOFLON, gears or bearing also increase sliding speed and contribute to lower temperatures.
DAIKIN mold release agents, additives, and processing aids impart an increased slipperiness to parts being produced contributing to the improvement of manufacturing speed and quality.
Low friction materials support automotive emission challenge
In automotive, friction cause significant losses of energy, generates emission as well as increase the overall temperature. PTFE micro powder lubricant for improved lubricity of PC, PA, and other standard polymers
Slippery surface to improve touchscreen experience
The demand for instant data and responsiveness strains designers of touchscreens and consumer electronics to seek for the smoothest touch glide experience for their clients. Standard glass screen often slows down this feeling. DAIKIN research on fluorine material enabled the development of OPTOOL, a thin transparent coating which reduces of 50% the coefficient of friction of a glass substrate.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Fluoropolymers
Fluoropolymers are widely used because of their unique non-adhesive and low friction properties as well as their superior heat, chemical and weather resistance and superior electrical properties.
Fluoropolymer Coatings
DAIKIN’s fluoro coatings allow for the users to enhance the processability of the products and to impart improved characteristics to the final parts.
Anti-smudge Coatings
OPTOOL is an anti-smudge coating for specifically engineered-to-protect display, optical, and glass surfaces.
Water and Oil Repellents
UNIDYNE water and oil repellents impart excellent water and oil repellency as well as stain release.
Coating Resins
ZEFFLE Series are designed to meet building and constructions most strict outdoor specifications.
Polymer Additives
DAIKIN's lubricants additives, anti-dripping modifiers, and processing aids allow for the processors and end-users to benefit in compounded materials.
Mold Release Agents
DAIFREE is based on the fluoro technology offering efficient demolding performances for elastomers and plastics.
Fluoropolymer Films
Fluoropolymer films provide parts or production processes outstanding chemical resistance, transparency, weather resistance, heat resistance or more functions.

APPLICATIONS
In the fluoro materials, the balance between the carbon and fluorine electron attractiveness of -CF 2 - is exquisite, so it becomes almost nonpolar, and the affinity with various chemicals is extremely low. That's why, the surface of fluoro material is smoothy.
