Fluon® lubricant polymers are manufactured from virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) feedstock and have been developed for use as both dry lubricants and as additives in other materials such as plastics, inks, oils and greases. These polymers improve wear resistance and enhance lubricity, non-stick and frictional characteristics of the host media.
 

The table below shows the main grade range.

Please contact the AGC Chemicals Europe sales office for details of other specialist and newly developed lubricant grades.
