PCTFE is a material with special features which make it fairly popular for plastic bearings.
(See tables below.)
Overview of PCTFE
PCTFE (polychlorotrifluoroethylene) is a kind of “fluorine” plastic. This is basically PTFE with a fluorine molecule in the chain.
PCTFE has less heat and chemical resistance than PTFE, but it has excellent mechanical strength and optical propertiess.
