LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations –
PTFE-free Solutions
LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are
self-lubricating polymers, offering low coefficients
of friction (COF) and improved wear-resistance
properties for molded parts.
Extending the existing portfolio, PTFE-free
LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations
are made without polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE).
This helps customers adhere to proposed
regulatory restrictions surrounding the use of
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of which PTFE
is classified as.

But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.
When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems.
The decision to redesign the valve insert paid off in multiple ways for the medical device manufacturer, generating a total annual savings of more than $175,000 a year.
