【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.

Company information
To maximize the performance of manufacturing equipment and machine parts, Yoshida SKT derives the "optimal solution" tailored to our customers from hundreds of surface treatment technologies. - Decreased productivity due to adhesive troubles - Instability in product quality due to friction - Early deterioration of equipment due to corrosion We respond to these challenges in the manufacturing field with our extensive track record and reliable technical expertise. In 1963, we began fluoropolymer processing. In 1968, we signed a licensing agreement with DuPont (now Chemours), supporting manufacturing innovations for over 2,000 customers across various industries, from automotive to medical and aerospace. Furthermore, in 2024, we are focusing on the development of next-generation products, such as PFAS-free coatings, contributing to the advancement of sustainable manufacturing. With a three-base system in Nagoya, Tokyo, and Yamaguchi, we flexibly respond to both mass production and custom orders. Our consistent quality management system ensures that we deliver reliable quality. For solving challenges in the manufacturing field, trust the surface treatment experts at Yoshida SKT.
