Shamrock pioneered the development of PTFE and wax additives in the 1970s—initially for inks and coatings, and later expanding into a wide range of applications including lubricants, personal care products, polymer additives, and more. The company offers a broad line of specialty micronized powders, dispersions, emulsions, and compounds, including PTFE, polyethylene, polypropylene, fluoropolymers, custom wax alloys, natural waxes, wax emulsions, and other specialty additives.


In response to EU regulations limiting perfluoroalkyl compounds, Shamrock introduced RC-grade PTFE micropowder (REACH compliant), which is widely used in industries with strict regulatory requirements. In recent years, the company has also developed numerous modified micronized waxes based on bio-based raw materials. These products not only meet growing environmental standards but also deliver excellent performance across a variety of applications and formulations.


Recognizing the increasing industry focus on PFAS substances (perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances), Shamrock has developed a series of modified wax powders using synthetic and natural wax raw materials. These products combine the unique properties of various materials to address the challenges associated with PTFE micropowders and fluorinated wax powders in diverse application scenarios, meeting PFAS-free requirements for end users.


Shamrock is also deeply committed to the advancement of environmentally friendly coatings. The company develops and promotes specialty wax products for the powder coating industry, including PFAS-free texture waxes, degassing waxes, anti-scratch waxes, and hardening waxes.


Its product catalogue includes additives for abrasives and anti-skid applications, anti-blocking agents, anti-foaming agents, anti-skinning agents, flatting agents, flow control agents, ink additives, miscellaneous specialty additives, powder coating additives, printing ink varnishes and compounds, surface conditioners and lubricants, texturizers, and waxes.
