UC Riverside researchers received the grant to develop methods for recycling wastewater, removing PFAS and improving sustainable agricultural irrigation.
New ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder provides sliding properties and abrasion resistance for multiple coating applications without using PFAS chemicals.
“We understand how important it is for formulators to pivot to additives that address regulatory challenges without sacrificing performance,” said Gary Strauss, President, Micro Powders.
In addition to non-stick coatings for industrial bakeware, the expansion supports the increased capacity for kitchenware and low-friction applications.
On Demand Join us as industry experts from across the coatings value chain collaborate to discuss the debate surrounding these materials, how the restrictions are affecting their business, what innovative replacement products are under development, and what the future holds for some of these highly irreplaceable chemicals.
