PFAS-free Release Agents and Lubricants
Full Performance without Fluorochemicals
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances are exceedingly durable due to the strength of fluorine bonds. Durability and stability characteristics caused fluorochemicals to be applied in a wide range of industries around the world, and these substances are now ubiquitous in daily life. The same durability and chemical resistance that contributed to widespread use also results in environmental persistence. Learn more about PFAS here from the US EPA. In addition to environmental concerns, Fluorochemicals are exceedingly expensive additives. Decades before environmental concerns began to emerge, McLube began developing PFAS-free mold release agents and PFAS-free lubricants in an effort to reduce process aid cost to end-users. As environmental concerns cause the world to pivot away from fluorochemicals, McLube is drawing from decades of fluoro-free coating experience and innovation to assist customers with their transition away from fluorinated materials without sacrificing performance, supply chain strength, or efficiency.
Our goal is a seamless integration of the PFAS-free coating into your process. We will work to marry your wetting and slip requirements with a nonfluorinated solution that requires minimal changes to application methods, equipment, and throughput.
As PFAS removal increasingly becomes a priority, McLube can provide immediate samples of production-proven alternatives to speed your transition. Where our existing PFAS-free mold release agents, PFAS-free lubricants, and PFAS-free anti-tack coatings to not meet your needs, McLube offers rapid custom formulation to ensure a seamless, efficient transition.
