The extreme and widespread diffusion of self-lubricating plastics is due to the performance of these products, which has been refined over the years through the development of increasingly efficient formulas. It is not only the base polymers that make the difference, but also the specific additives and their synergies.
In this scenario, PTFE, a polymer with extraordinary tribological properties, stands out. Today, however, it is 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 substituted and, if necessary, what compromises must be made, and what developments the future may hold for us
