2. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

   Where used as a lubricant, PTFE reduces friction, wear, and energy consumption of machinery. It is used as a graft material in surgery and as a coating on catheters. PTFE and chemicals used in its production are some of the best-known and widely applied PFAS, [5] which are persistent organic pollutants.

3. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

   Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is widely used as an additive in lubricating oils and greases. Due to the low surface energy of PTFE, stable unflocculated dispersions of PTFE in oil or water can be produced. Contrary to the other solid lubricants discussed, PTFE does not have a layered structure.

4. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   PTFE tape used for different sized fittings PTFE tape for natural gas. There are two US standards for determining the quality of any thread seal tape. MIL-T-27730A (an obsolete military specification still commonly used in industry in the US) requires a minimum thickness of 3.5 mils and a minimum PTFE purity of 99%. [3]

5. Oil additive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_additive

   However, if the PTFE particles are smaller than those apparently used in the 1980s and 1990s, then PTFE can be an effective lubricant in suspension. [14] The size of the particle and many other interrelated components of a lubricant make it difficult to make blanket statements about whether PTFE is useful or harmful.

6. Lubricant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

   PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is typically used as a coating layer on, for example, cooking utensils to provide a non-stick surface. Its usable temperature range up to 350 °C and chemical inertness make it a useful additive in special greases , where it can function both as a thickener and a lubricant.

7. Surface treatment of PTFE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_treatment_of_PTFE

   Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), better known by its trade name Teflon, has many desirable properties which make it an attractive material for numerous industries. It has good chemical resistance, a low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and a low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for reactor linings, circuit boards, and kitchen utensils, to name a few applications.
