Benefits of Resin-Bonded, PTFE Dry Film Lubricants

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lubricants are desired in a multitude of applications for their high performance and unique properties, improving the efficiency and longevity of many parts and operations. One disadvantage of conventional PTFE lubricants is their poor adhesion to plastic and rubber surfaces. However, BONDERITE^® PTFE lubricants utilize a thermoplastic binder to improve flexibility and adhesion to deformable substrates, combining the durability of thermoplastic resin with the frictional performance of PTFE. Below are some of their important benefits.

Low-Friction Coating

PTFE solid lubricants have an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, meaning that formulated PTFE coatings have exceptional lubricating properties to reduce wear and tear on moving surfaces.

Temperature Resistance

PTFE lubricants can withstand high temperatures and wide temperature ranges, making them ideally suited for extreme environments and various applications.

Chemical Resistance

PTFE shows exceptional resistance to most chemicals, including acids and bases, ensuring lubricants maintain their stability and longevity in harsh conditions.

Water Resistance

PTFE lubricants naturally repel water and moisture, preventing rust and corrosion on metal surfaces.

Long-Lasting Protection

Because of their durability and inherent properties, PTFE lubricants last longer than alternative chemistries, reducing maintenance cycles and the need for frequent reapplication.

High Flexibility & Adhesion

Because many BONDERITE^® PTFE lubricants use a thermoplastic resin binder, the coatings can adhere strongly to flexible substrates like rubber and plastic.

Easy Application

Because of their dry film nature, BONDERITE^® PTFE lubricants dry quickly, and their non-oily films do not attract dust or dirt. Many BONDERITE^® dry lubes come in aerosol form, making them easy to apply, particularly for overhead or vertical applications.

Electrical Insulation

PTFE is a good electrical insulator suited for electrical applications where lubrication is needed without conducting electricity.

Versatility

PTFE dry film lubricants can be used on various substrates and in a multitude of applications, making them a versatile solution for manufacturers.

Applications

PTFE lubricants are applied on everything from automotive and aerospace parts to doors, windows, and drawers. They find versatile uses on metal, plastic, rubber, wood, fabric, and glass. Anywhere a long-lasting, low-friction coating is needed, BONDERITE^® PTFE coatings perform.
