This was not in keeping with the premium quality they deliver. As the problem was tribological in nature, they approached us for a PTFE-based solution. Together, we investigated which materials and thicknesses could offer the right combination of wear resistance, flexibility and quiet operation under extreme conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-12 offset-0 col-xl-3 offset-xl-1\">\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"profile\">\n                            <div class=\"image_placeholder\">\n                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fluortech.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Antonio-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluortech.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Antonio-2.png 768w, https:\/\/fluortech.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Antonio-2-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"text_placeholder\">\n                                <h2>Antonio Chaniotakis<\/h2>\n                                <span class=\"function\">Senior Account Manager<\/span>\n                                <p>More information about this project?
