    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Powder

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Powder.
    Often used in assemblies that rub against each other, this powder blends into plastic, rubber, composites, and lubricants to keep them from sticking. Because it is slippery, it decreases wear and dissipates heat caused by friction—it will not break down in extreme temperatures. It repels water, which keeps rust, dust, and debris from building up and causing abrasion between moving parts. This powder won’t react to most corrosive chemicals, but it will break down when exposed to alkali metal.

    Made of graphite, these powders and flakes lubricate under heavy loads and high temperatures. They resist most chemicals and conduct heat and electricity.
    Powder Lubricant—Powder lubricants get into hard-to-reach spots, such as locking mechanisms and fastener threads, better than flakes.
    Can—Lubricant in a can can be used dry or mixed with oil and grease to increase their load-carrying capacity or improve their ability to conduct heat and electricity.
    Drum—Lubricant in a drum can be used dry or mixed with oil and grease to increase their load-carrying capacity or improve their ability to conduct heat and electricity.
    Tube—Lubricant in a tube can be used dry. It has a precision-tip applicator.
