Presentation
PFAS-compliant bearing technology
PTFE ensures smooth dry operation in many bearing materials. As it belongs to the group of PFAS chemicals, which are difficult to degrade in the environment and potentially harmful to health, the EU is considering a ban or a regulation. We show plain bearing alternatives that already comply with the upcoming guidelines.
