Adding ultradiamond50 alters polymer structure of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), reducing coefficient of friction and wear. It works with conventional fillers or as the only additive. PTFE with ultradiamond50 works anywhere PTFE works. Use standard procedures for sintering. link to home link to index of topics link to glossary

(ultradiamond50)
Product
Improvements
(compared to
 conventional fillers) 		Reduce
Wear, as much as 5 times,
when ultradiamond50 is used as the only additive
