Global Micronized PTFE Market Demand & Forecast Analysis, 2016-2032

The global micronized PTFE market size was valued at USD 416.8 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 712.9 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2022 to 2032. The increasing demand for high-performance coatings and lubricants from automotive, and industrial is driving the growth of the micronized PTFE market.

Introduction to Micronized PTFE

Micronized Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is a white powder made up of extremely small particles having an average particle size that ranges from 1 to  25. Thermal decomposition or irradiation of virgin PTFE or PTFE scrap yields Micronized PTFE. The other method that can be used to produce Micronized PTFE is direct polymerization (under controlled conditions). Micronized PTFE is a high-performance fluoropolymer that offers excellent chemical resistance, and low-friction properties. Micronized PTFE is used in a wide range of applications, including industrial coatings, lubricants, and plastics. Micronized PTFE is used as an additives for inks, surface coatings and thermoplastics. Micronized PTFE provides lubricity to improve friction; it provides slippery surface, abrasion resistance, and stain blocking. Since Micronized PTFE are very fine particles, and provides enhanced lubricant performance and lower friction coefficient, it is used in plastics like Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS), Polysulphones (PSU), and Polyimides. Micronized PTFE can also be dispersed in liquids. 

Major Micronized PTFE Producers

 Some of the key players operating in the global micronized PTFE market include Chemours Company, 3M Company, Solvay, Shanghai 3F New Materials Company, Zhonghao Chenguang Research Institute, Asahi Glass Company, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited and Daikin Industries.
