TEFLON® PTFE Fibers

Toray TEFLON® PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Fibers provide a non-stick, low friction and low wear surface that eliminates the squeak and squawk that can occur where there is motion. The benefits of TEFLONŽ PTFE Fibers also include inertness to chemicals and wide operating range from -450F to 550F.

Applications
 
Window Stabilizer Seal   Short-cut Toray TEFLON® Fibers for Thermoplastic Bearings
     
 
Composite Bearings   Stabilizer Bar Bushing
Toray TEFLONŽ Fibers Filled Thermoplastic Bearings
 
  • Excellent wear and long life
  • Quite operation
  • Internal lubrication
Composite Bearings Made with Toray TEFLON® Fibers
 
  • Excellent lubrication under high loads at low speeds
  • Immersion in non-lubricating fluids including seawater
  • Lubrication for oscillating applications
  • Good vibration tolerance
  • If properly engineered replacement may not be necessary during its life. Therefore the bearing can be used in locations where replacement is difficult
  • The bearing allows for operation over a broad range of temperatures
Automotive Window Stabilizer Seal
 
  • Reduced friction at increased loads
  • Non-stick operation due to lower static friction than dynamic friction
  • Quite operation
  • Reduced initial motor torque requirements that allow the use of smaller lift motors
Automotive Stabilizer Bar Bushing
 
  • Quite operation regardless of ambient temperature eliminating squeak and squawk
  • Will help reduce warrantee claims due to its demonstrated long service life
  • Continues to work regardless of dust, grit or water contamination


Potential automotive applications include McPherson strut guide bearings, Windshield, Wiper arm bearings, Ball joints, Front suspension bearings.
