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?

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

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