Fluorinated polymer widely known by the trade name Teflon. Thanks to its excellent chemical, electrical, and thermal properties, PTFE has been extensively used for years. It has an extremely low coefficient of friction—essentially a solid lubricant. However, its use as a mechanical part (e.g., guides) is not recommended due to poor resistance to compression, creep, and wear, even under light loads.
