The extreme and widespread diffusion of self-lubricating plastic materials is due to the performance of these products, refined over the years thanks to the development of increasingly efficient formulas. The difference is made not only by the base polymers, but also by specific additives and their synergies.
In this scenario, PTFE stands out, a polymer with extraordinary tribological properties that is now the subject of particular attention in the health and safety field due to the growing restrictions on perfluoroalkyl substances.
Let’s try to better understand what properties PTFE offers, how it can be replaced, and what compromises may need to be accepted, as well as what developments the future might hold for us
