Re: Is Teflon legal?

First you should ask this question. What is the advantage of using Teflon over either a oil impreginated bronze bushing or a standard ball bearing?

What is the load that is going to be applied to this joint?

Will the Teflon carry that load with a safety factor?

What are the material properties of the Teflon I am using.
