I was reading about Teflon (PTFE more specifically) and everyone said it was basically a joke except GEEKYSTEVE. Well anyone else look at the link he posted? It appears theres another product called Zonyl which is a PTFE. Could this be what all these 5 year sealants have in it and just say its teflon because its more well known?? Also Enzo wax contains this stuff anyone use it aqnd if so what do you think??
 
Zonyl is another fluoroadditive similar to Teflon. If has a few differences including a lower molecular weight, and small partical size, so it can be suspended (or blended) into a formula much easier. You can also bet it is more expensive.



I found this online.................

----------------------------------------------------

Tests have shown that the chemical and abrasion resistant protective properties of wax formulations can be improved by the addition of Zonyl® fluoroadditives. In addition to enhancing anti-stick and low-friction behavior of coatings, Zonyl® fluoroadditives may be able to satisfy a variety of other needs, such as better water repellency, compatibility with solvent or melt coating processes, and FDA and EEC regulations

-----------------------------------------------------



While zonyl might aid a formulation in properties such as anti-static, slickness, and water repellency, it still is not bonded in any way to the cars surface, so will have a minimum impact on increased durability. It might help the formulation in some ways, but only as long as the product stays on the car. Remember, a product is only as good as its weakest link. Oh, and about those paint sealants.....NO PRODUCT can last one year never mind 5!!



Hope this helps..........
