2. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

   PTFE is used in some aerosol lubricant sprays, including in micronized and polarized form. It is notable for its extremely low coefficient of friction, its hydrophobia (which serves to inhibit rust), and for the dry film it forms after application, which allows it to resist collecting particles that might otherwise form an abrasive paste.

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. Oil additive - Wikipedia

   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.

5. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

   Thread seal tape is wrapped around the threads, lubricating the connection and allowing the two pieces to be screwed deeper together. Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads.

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. Krytox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krytox

   In addition to PFPE, Krytox grease also contains telomers of PTFE and in fact was designed as a liquid or grease form of PTFE. It is thermally stable, nonflammable (even in liquid oxygen), and insoluble in water, acids, bases, and most organic solvents. It is nonvolatile and useful over a broad temperature range of −75 to 350 °C (−100 to ...
