LEADINGMANUFACTURER OFFLUOROCHEMICALPRODUCTS

MAFLON® was founded in 1996 thanks to a research project developed together

with the Fluorine Chemistry Laboratory of Padua University. A research project

focused, since the very beginning, on the fluorinated products and their application.

MAFLON® has the appropriate coating solution for surfaces such as leather, textile,

stone, tile, wood, providing a durable and transparent treatment while creating a

highly effective protective barrier against different agents as oils, water, coffee, food

products and beverages.

MAFLON® produces also a wide range of fluorinated surface active agents to give

excellent wetting, spreading and leveling properties in coating, cleaners, waxes

systems. Fluorosurfactants may be also used in polishes, inks, adhesives and in all

applications where surface tension is a fundamental parameter to determine the

performance of the final products.

Today MAFLON® includes a research team leading the R&D activities cooperating

closely with some of the most important Universities specialised in Fluorine

Chemistry. All the R&D activities are developed in the laboratories located in the

Headquarters in northern Italy.

The Fluorochemical Specialist

GUARNIFLON® Spa is a leading international company specialised in the processing of fluorobased products with an annual

output of 4.500 tons.

GUARNIFLON® Spa started its activities in 1982 with the machining of PTFE components and has been growing both dome-

stic and international markets in the production of an extremely wide range of different PTFE based semifinished and finished

products. It acquired a strong know-how that has been later applied also to the production of other fluorobased materials.

Established as a family company, today GUARNIFLON® Spa, after 30 years activity, is an international group with subsidiaries

in Europe, Far-East and the U.S., a global network with its Headquarters in Italy and a work force of almost 400 people.

GUARNIFLON® Spa is organized in three Business Units: the first one, under the brand name GUARNIFLON®, involved in

PTFE processing, semi-finished and finished parts, the second one, under the brand name MAFLON®, involved in fluoroche-

mical specialities and the third one, under the brand name BRIKO MAPLUS, dedicated to ski waxes.

MAFLON® was set up initially as an independent company managed by GUARNIFLON® Spa shareholders, then, in 2009,

was merged into GUARNIFLON® Spa, becoming the Business Unit focused on fluorochemical specialities.

A well trained team of chemical researchers works daily to develop special and customised fluorochemical solutions, thanks

to an extremely efficient laboratory furnished with the most up to date equipment and to the strong relationship with internatio-

nal research laboratories and Universities.

CHEMISTRY

MAFLON® scientific research is based on the chemistry of fluorotelomers and perfluoroalkyliodides obtained by the

controlled polymerisation of tetrafluoroethylene. Fluorinated materials and compounds of type F(CF2)n(CH2)mX1 are used in

the laboratories to prepare fluorinated materials. These new chemical compounds are then used as raw materials for the

production of more sophisticated fluorinated products used in a wide range of application such as:

Fluorine-modified polymersApplied as a surface treatment in order to give oleo-hydro repellency and anti-stain properties

(e.g. poly(meth)acrylates, polyurethanes, polysiloxanes).

FluorosurfactantsMostly used as wetting and leveling agents in the formulation of floor polishes, detergents, waxes, paints, varnishes and

coatings.

Solid lubricants / Fluorinated solventsPerfluoroalkanes CF3(CF2)nCF3 and semifluorinated alkanes used as solid lubricants or fluorinated solvents with a high

solubility for oxygen and carbon dioxide.

All the products are characterised and tested in MAFLON® laboratories thanks to the following analytical and characterisation

techniques:

• Infrared spectroscopy (IR)

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

• Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)

• Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

• QUV weathering tests

• Tribological tests

• Tensiometer for surface and interfacial tension measurements.

HIGH PERFORMANCE IN FLUOROCHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Fluorine and Carbon form one of the strongest bonds known in organic chemistry and MAFLON® takes advantage of C-F

bonds to create chemicals for the development of a wide range of materials with attractive properties. MAFLON® products

can meet a wide range of applications and have been divided into different specific business lines, always offering tailor-made

solutions to the customers and remaining one step ahead of the competition. Maflon business lines include Lineplus

Fluoropolymers, Hexafor Fluoropolymers and Hexafor Surfactants.

Lineplus Fluoropolymers are offered as solvent or aqueous systems of specially designed (polymeric) compounds for the

surface treatment of stone, marble, tile, concrete, leather, textile, carpet, and all other substrates where high repellency is

required. They offer a highly durable and repellent protection against water, oil, coffee, red wine, etc. without modifying the

natural appearance of the treated substrates.

Lineplus include also low molecular weight PTFE additives designed to grant some of the fluoropolymer properties to the host

material. Specifically they can be used to reduce the friction coefficient, to enhance the wear resistance, the lubricity and the

non-stick properties of a variety of host materials such as printing inks, paints, coatings, thermoplastics, greases, lubricants,

plastics and elastomers.

Hexafor Fluoropolymers are a new family of oil and water repellents developed as an effective alternative to long-chain

perfluorinated chemicals (ex. Lineplus Fluoropolymers). They are based on short perfluorinated chain molecules containing

only 6 fluorinated carbon atoms avoiding the formation of hazardous chemicals (eg. PFOA) in the environment. Similar to the

Lineplus Fluoropolymers serie, Hexafor fluoropolymers provide a durable and transparent treatment for stone, marble, tile,

concrete, textile, leather, etc.

Hexafor Surfactants are highly effective and efficient fluorinated surface active agents based on short fluorinated chain.

They are especially designed to provide rapid spreading, wetting and leveling performance to various water-based coating

systems, such as paints, inks, floors, vanishes, polishes. Their low surface tension permits the wetting of substrates that are

difficult to wet with the common hydrocarbon surfactants. The Hexafor surfactants line includes anionic and nonionic surface

active agents.

MAFLON® Environmental Policy

The need for really sustainable solutions for 21st century life is one of the most

critical and important challenges facing the global community.

At MAFLON®, sustainable development does not just mean being an

environmentally friendly company, but also taking care of human beings safety.

Over the past decade (since 2000), there has been increasing concern about

products that contain long-chain perfluorinated chemicals (LCPFs) and various

actions have been undertaken to minimize the potential impact of these chemicals

on human health and on the environment, especially related to PFOA and PFOS.

Both these chemicals are thought to be persistent in the environment, bioaccumu-

lative and potentially toxic.

MAFLON® uses neither Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) nor PFOS intentionally

during its manufacturing processes. Moreover all MAFLON® repellents and

surfactants are telomere-based (refer to MAFLON® Scientific Approach) and

cannot therefore contain or produce PFOS, however trace levels of PFOA may

result as minor impurities in the raw materials or as a byproduct of the LCPF -

based products (C8 Lineplus series).

In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA and the eight

major companies active in the fluorochemicals market launched the 2010/15

PFOA Stewardship Program. According to this agreement, the companies com-

mitted to work towards eliminating the emissions and use of PFOA and related

substances (LCPFCs) by 2015. As well as EPA also the European Chemical

Agency (ECHA) considered in its analysis 2015 as the ultimate phase out deadline

for direct use of PFOA and related compounds.

MAFLON® is fully involved in the LCPFCs (PFOA) substitution/elimination process.

At the end of 2010 MAFLON® R&D team concluded the development of a new

line of products based on shorter chain perfluorinated chemicals (C4-C6 HEXAFOR

series). They show similar or even better performance in comparison to those of

LCPFCs (C8 Lineplus series) avoiding any possibility of PFOA release in the

environment.

At present, although all the new R&D projects are focused on the new C6 HEXA-

FOR series, MAFLON® guarantees the delivery of its C8 Lineplus series onto the

market until 2015.

HEXAFOR surfactants are highly effective and efficient fluorinated surface active agents based on short perfluorinated chains. They are especially designed to provide rapid spreading, wetting and leveling performances to a broad range of water and solvent borne systems such as detergents, paints and varnishes, inks, waxes and floor polishes. The use of HEXAFOR surfactants allows to develop formulations to improve several properties such as:

Thanks to the their extremely low surface tension, HEXAFOR surfactants are more effecient than hydrocarbon and silicone surfactants and they can be used for wetting surfaces which are “impossible” to wet out. Moreover, thanks to the presence of the fluorinated chain, HEXAFOR surfactants are more stable (thermally and chemically) and fit for harsh and extreme conditions than hydrocarbon surfactants.The introduction of fluorinated chain in surfactants offer excellent thermal stability permitting their use in extreme conditions.

In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA and the eight major companies active in the fluorochemicals market launched the 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program.

According to this agreement, the companies committed to work towards eliminating the emissions and use of PFOA and related substances (LCPFCs) by 2015. As well as EPA also the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) considered in its analysis 2015 as the ultimate phase out deadline for direct use of PFOA and related compounds.

MAFLON® is fully involved in the LCPFCs (PFOA) substitution/elimination process. At the end of 2010 MAFLON® R&D team concluded the development of a new line of products based on shorter chain perfluorinated chemicals (C4-C6 HEXAFOR series).

They show similar or even better performance in comparison to those of LCPFCs (C8 Lineplus series) avoiding any possibility of PFOA release in the environment.

At present, although all the new R&D projects are focused on the new C6 HEXAFOR series, MAFLON® guarantees the delivery of its C8 Lineplus series onto the market until 2015.
