【Technical Data Presentation】Why is PTFE slippery? An explanation including non-fluorinated lubricants.
From the reasons why PTFE is slippery to the limits at high temperatures, and comparison data on PFAS-free lubricating coatings. A technical document of 22 pages is available for free.
"Why does fluoropolymer coating slide?" "Why does it wear out quickly in high-temperature sliding parts?" We have compiled the answers and the following options into a comprehensive technical document of 22 pages. ■ First half: Illustrated explanation of why PTFE slides We explain the mechanism of low friction from three perspectives: the smoothness of the molecular surface, C-F bond energy, and the lamellar structure and transfer to the counterpart material. ■ Middle section: Presenting the limitations of PTFE coating with data The friction and wear endurance count of our PTFE coating (OCP-033) is 2,000 reciprocations at room temperature compared to 20 reciprocations at 200°C. We demonstrate the challenges in high-temperature ranges with test data. ■ Last half: The choice of non-fluorinated options After organizing the current status of PFAS regulations, we provide comparative data and selection criteria for five products in the PFAS-free lubrication coating 'FFLC series.' *For more details, please click on "PDF Download" to view.
