How to make rubber slick
(OP)
I have an application where I need the compliance of rubber but need to reduce the coifficient of friction between the rubber and a delrin part. The rubber is compressed about 0.020" Silicone rubber is not slick enough. I apply silicone spray to the rubbber at assembly but after 1 day of cycling, the silicone wears off and the friction is too great. Am trying teflon in the neoprene and Stearate in the neoprene. Any other suggestions?

You can also have the rubber Teflon coated. While this is not as long lived as an internal lubricant is is much better than an applied grease.

I noticed that your address is in cincy. I have both urethane and teflon in my Cincinnati office. If I can help please call 513-321-4511.
