2F-3-PTFE / Phenolic cotton fabric

Where a material is required for a dry bearing application, one grade of TUFNOL is offered which does have self lubrication capabilities. TUFNOL Grade 2F/3/PTFE is a cotton fabric laminate which contains fine particles of PTFE distributed throughout the material.

The frictional properties of Grade 2F/3/PTFE are quite outstanding in dry bearing applications. The mechanical strength of the base laminate combines with the frictional properties of the PTFE dispersion to give Grade 2F/3/PTFE a wear resistance greater than that of either material individually. This allows it to be used at speeds which would be considered prohibitive for many other dry bearing materials.
