Low-friction polymer for pads, films and sliding contact surfaces.
What it is
PTFE is polytetrafluoroethylene, a fluoropolymer known for low friction and chemical resistance. Teflon is a brand covering several fluoropolymers, not a guarantee of a particular product’s source or composition.
How it feels in your EDC
In pads and contact films, PTFE can reduce direct rubbing between parts. Thickness, fit, surface condition and the complete mechanism influence travel and feedback.
Care & aging
Keep contact surfaces clean and replace worn pads according to the product instructions. Match the required thickness and dimensions. Reference: Chemours, Fluoropolymers 101.
