Surface treatments

(OP)
Anyone know of a good way to reduce the coefficient of friction of silicone?  I know of and tried, corona, flame, parylene, talc and many others.  I cannot use any powders and need something to help bowl feeding.  Anyone ever heard of oxy-glazing?

RE: Surface treatments

(I haven't heard of oxy-glazing.)
A client used a teflon coating on certain seals/closures made out of NBR to reduce friction.

RE: Surface treatments

(OP)
Teflon would not work in my application because whatever I would use can not change the flex properties.  Thanks for the response though.
