We have anticipated this challenge and are meeting the expected high demand from our customers and their consumers for PTFE-free lubricated materials with a range of LubriOne polymer formulations that avoid the use of fluorinated lubricants that are classified as PFAS.”   Using internally lubricated polymer materials eliminates the risk of contamination from oils or greases and minimizes maintenance requirements. LubriOne internally lubricated formulations made without PTFE were first introduced in 2023 and are available in a wide range of solutions with base resins from polyamide 6.6 (PA66) and polyoxymethylene (POM) to polycarbonate (PC) and polyphenylene ether (PPE).

ISTANBUL, Turkey – Akboru Elektrik, a leading supplier of lighting systems for pools, hot tubs and gardens, selected Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers from PolyOne to replace aluminum for heat sinks in LED swimming pool lighting. As a result, aluminum heat sinks are often used to draw heat away from the diode to extend its performance over time. Photo Caption: Switching from metal to heat sinks molded with Therma-Tech thermally conductive polymers enabled Akboru Elektrik to increase the expected useful lifetime of pool lighting by 200%.
