Propylene 150 Waterproofing & Lubricant Aerosol
Ultra high-performance next generation fluorinated aerosol for hard surface protection & lubrication.
Ultra high-performance next generation fluorinated aerosol for hard surface protection & lubrication.
Propylene 150 is a new, ultra high performance fluorinated surface protectant and lubricant spray currently in development by Fluorchem. Just like Propylene 204, it is a proprietary formula based off hexafluoropropylene which the product derives its name from.
Currently in development at Fluorchem since January 2023, Propylene 150 is set to be a stronger, more effective version of Propylene 204 with new surfactant technologies giving it a significantly stronger effect at nearly eliminating friction with increased dry lubricant properties.
The first demonstration units are set to be produced by Q4 2023. We currently expect to see Propylene 150 on the market by early to mid 2024.
Propylene 150 utilizes a next-generation blend of fluorosurfactants and low molecular weight perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) derived from hexafluoropropylene (HFP) chemistries within our Propylene Monomer (PM) program. This advanced formulation significantly reduces surface energy upon application, allowing the product to form an ultrathin boundary layer thats 1,500 - 2,000 times thinner than a human hair. This layer dramatically lowers static and dynamic coefficients of friction between contacting surfaces resulting in smooth, almost anti-gravity gliding, similar to the puck on an air hockey table.
This Friday, October 13 2023, we are proud to announce we have successfully completed the manufacturing of the first demonstration unit of Propylene 150.
This milestone represents over 10 months of work and research under the PM (Propylene Monomer) fluorochemical development program responsible for Propylene 204, 150 and AC products.
Preliminary testing has determined that Propylene 150 performed better than Propylene 204 on multiple testing criteria including long term effectiveness, lubrication capability and water & oil repulsion effectiveness.
We look forward to sharing this product with our customers in the coming months.

In March 2024, Fluorchem Corporation has temporarily suspended development within the PM (Propylene Monomer) program due to Canada's changing regulatory landscape. On June 1 2025, Fluorchem oficially terminated all research and development operations within the PM program.
