👉 The string fluid, also known as Teflon or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) fluid, is a lubricant designed to minimize friction and wear between surfaces in motion. It is typically a clear, odorless liquid composed of tiny polymer particles suspended in a carrier fluid, often mineral oil or silicone oil. This fluid forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, reducing direct contact and preventing adhesion, which is especially useful in applications like bearings, gears, and sliding mechanisms. Its low coefficient of friction and high thermal stability make it ideal for maintaining smooth operation in various mechanical systems, from industrial machinery to automotive components.
