We are an appliance manufacturer and we need a material exhibiting very low friction. Can you advice us about a material or a combination polymer/additives?
They are already some polymers exhibiting good self-lubrification performances like Polyamide 6,6 or Polyacetal (POM). This performance can be improved by the addition of lubricant fillers like graphite or molebdium disulfide. If the color of your part is a concern there are some high molecular weight PTFE that can be used. These PTFE are also efficient in polyolefins.
