All about oil: PTFE friction modifiers

Most of the PTFE oil additives use a particle anywhere from 20 microns down to the sub-micron size. The very characteristic of PTFE that makes it so slippery also makes it tough to get it where the action is in the motor. For this reason, the carrier liquid is often an affinity agent that bonds the PTFE to the friction …
