What are FEP Micro Powders?
What is FEP micropowder, and how do coating R&D teams compare it against PTFE micropowder before locking a supplier?
FEP micro powders are white, ultra-fine fluoropolymer powders made from a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. Their stable molecular structure delivers flame resistance, chemical inertness, low friction, and weather stability — the same property set you expect from FEP resin, but in a particle size that disperses cleanly into paints, inks, lubricants, and engineering plastics.
Peflon produces FEP micro powders through controlled emulsion copolymerization followed by cryogenic micronization, with 65+ years of fluoropolymer manufacturing experience behind every batch. Both PF-3P04 (self-lubricating, D50 3.5–4.5 μm) and PF4620 (dispersion, D50 4 μm) hit ≥ 99% whiteness and a 260 ± 5 °C melting point.

Why Buy FEP Micro Powders from Peflon
You can't afford a FEP fluoroadditive switch that drifts your coating gloss or breaks your lubricant rheology. Peflon ships FEP micro powders with batch-locked whiteness, full PFOA-free documentation, equivalent grade mapping to your incumbent supplier, and a 2-week mass production cycle. Below are the four ways we earn your repeat order.
Batch Consistency: Whiteness ≥ 99% and D50 Tolerance Verified Per Lot
You buy FEP micro powders to hit a specific gloss, particle distribution, or friction coefficient. We hold whiteness above 99% and verify D50 on a laser diffraction rig per lot — so the coating you tuned with sample 0001 still runs clean at batch 0500.
- Whiteness ≥ 99% verified per batch
- D50 tolerance ±0.5 μm on PF-3P04 (3.5–4.5 μm)
- Melting point 260 ± 5 °C confirmed by DSC
- 3-year sealed sample retention for every production lot
PFOA-Free Production with SGS, REACH, RoHS & SVHC Per-Batch Documentation
You face EU and US compliance audits every quarter. Peflon FEP micro powders are made on PFOA-free reactor lines, with each batch shipping with a COA covering SGS verification, REACH and SVHC status, and RoHS compliance. Read more on our about page.
- 100% PFOA-free reactor train, GC-MS verified per batch
- REACH registration and SVHC candidate list checked monthly
- RoHS compliant for restricted heavy metals
- SGS third-party verification on request
Equivalent Grade Mapping to Daikin Neoflon MP, Chemours TE-9050, and Shamrock FluoroSlip
Re-qualification of a new FEP micro powder supplier can take 6–12 months. Send your incumbent supplier's grade or your current SDS, and we map a Peflon grade for trial against the same melting point, whiteness, and particle distribution — no round-one requalification needed.
- Incumbent grade mapped against PF-3P04 or PF4620 on first sample
- Side-by-side COA shipped with sample shipment
- Application engineer call-in support during your line trial
- 3M Dyneon FEP additive migration program for buyers facing supply gaps

How We Make FEP Micro Powders: From TFE/HFP Monomer to Micronized Pellets
1. TFE & HFP Monomer Purification
We feed reactor-grade tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene through distillation to remove acidic impurities that would shorten polymer chains and dull the whiteness of your finished powder.
2. Emulsion Copolymerization of TFE + HFP
Controlled emulsion polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene with hexafluoropropylene gives a copolymer that melts near 260 °C — lower than PTFE and ideal for additive dispersion. Reactor temperature, pressure, and initiator dosing are logged per batch.
3. Coagulation, Drying & Primary FEP Resin
The polymer slurry is coagulated, washed, and dried under inert atmosphere into primary FEP resin — the same intermediate stream that feeds our standard FEP resin grades for cable and tubing.
4. Cryogenic Grinding & Micronization to D50 4 μm
Primary resin is cryogenically milled below -100 °C, then classified through air separators that lock D50 at 4 μm for PF-3P04 and PF4620. Cold grinding preserves the molecular weight that conventional milling would degrade.
5. Lab QC (Whiteness, D50, Melting Point, Bulk Density)
Every batch is tested for whiteness, particle distribution, melting point, and bulk density before release. Results print directly on the COA you receive with the shipment — no surprises at goods-in inspection.
6. Sample Retention, COA & 25 kg Paper Bucket Packaging
We retain a sealed sample of each batch for 3 years, then pack the powder into 25 kg paper buckets with FEP inner liner and desiccant. Pallets ship from our Quzhou production facility under HS code 3904.69.
Applications & Industries for FEP Micro Powders
FEP powder for coating systems behaves like a hybrid lubricant and binder modifier: it lowers friction at the spray gun, smooths the cured film, and stays inert under chemical or thermal stress. The same particle that boosts a paint film also stabilizes a high-temperature grease, cleans a printer toner formulation, and toughens a PEEK injection compound. Below are the five industries where Peflon ships in volume today.
Non-stick & Industrial Coatings
Anti-corrosion paints for hulls, high-rise external walls, coil-coated panels, and highway barriers — wherever a tough nonstick surface needs to last 10+ years against weather and chemical attack.
Chemical Processing Lining
Electrostatic-sprayed and fluidized-bed coatings for pipe interiors, valve bodies, and reactor inner walls in acid, alkali, and solvent service. PF-3P04 is the workhorse grade here.
Inks, Toners & Specialty Printing
Anti-blocking additive for laser printer toner, slip booster for offset inks, and matte modifier for security printing varnish. The 4 μm grades disperse without clogging printhead nozzles.
Lubricants & Greases for Industrial Use
Solid-lubricant booster for high-temperature greases, chain oils, and assembly pastes. Cuts wear at metal-on-metal contacts where mineral oil thickeners alone run out of margin.
Plastics Compounding for Engineering Polymers
Low-friction modifier blended into PA, POM, and PEEK injection compounds. Read the PTFE vs FEP additive selection guide before locking your loading level.
Compliance & Trust for FEP Micro Powders
Each certification on this page maps to a real audit you can pass on Peflon FEP micro powders. SGS verification confirms whiteness, particle distribution, and contamination limits per batch. REACH and SVHC let your EU import broker file without holdups. PFOA-free batches arrive with GC-MS data so your QA team signs off the same day.
Trusted by leading North American coating brands, European lubricant formulators, and Asian battery and electronics manufacturers.
FAQ about FEP Micro Powders
How do I request a free FEP micro powder sample, and what's included?
Send your target grade or your incumbent supplier's spec sheet through the inquiry form. We ship a 1 kg sample by DHL or FedEx within 3–7 days, packed with the COA, SDS, and a mapping note against Daikin Neoflon MP, Chemours TE-9050, or your current grade. No charge, no minimum order.
Can Peflon FEP micro powder replace Daikin Neoflon MP, Chemours TE-9050, or Shamrock FluoroSlip?
Most customers run a one-line trial instead of a full re-qualification. We map your incumbent grade against PF-3P04 or PF4620 — matching melting point, whiteness, and D50 — and ship the sample with a side-by-side data sheet your R&D team verifies on the same coating or compounding run.
What are the MOQs for sample, trial batch, and mass production?
Sample is free up to 1 kg. Trial batch starts at 25 kg and ships in 1–2 weeks. Mass production starts at 0.5 MT and ships in 2 weeks. Larger annual contracts unlock fixed pricing across all three stages.
Are Peflon FEP micro powders PFOA-free and REACH compliant?
Yes. Production runs on PFOA-free reactor trains, with each batch reporting non-detect PFOA via GC-MS. REACH registration, SVHC candidate-list status, and RoHS declarations ship with the COA. SGS third-party verification is available on request.
What HS code and shipping options apply to FEP micro powder?
FEP micro powder ships under HS code 3904.69 (other fluoropolymers in primary forms) as a non-dangerous good. We support FOB, CIF, and DDP terms, file the origin certificate, and route by DHL, FedEx, or sea freight depending on volume. Contact our logistics team for destination-specific paperwork.
What's the difference between PTFE micropowder and FEP micro powder?
PTFE micropowder is harder, has a higher melt point (327 °C), and works mainly as a solid lubricant in greases and plastics. FEP micro powders melt at 260 °C, disperse more easily into paint and ink, and dominate in coating, printing, and dispersion applications where film integration matters.
