Discover how leveraging intrinsic material properties enables PTFE-free plastics to meet evolving PFAS regulations while maintaining low friction, durability, and reliable performance.

PTFE is widely used as a friction-reducing additive in plastics such as POM, PEEK, and standard polyamides. However, as a PFAS, it faces increasing regulatory restrictions from bodies including ECHA, the US EPA, and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Simply removing PTFE results in increased friction, heat, and wear. The podcast’s solution is to leverage intrinsic material properties rather than additives, enabling compliance without compromising performance.
