PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) thickeners use finely dispersed fluoropolymer particles within the base oil. PTFE is chemically inert, exhibits extremely low friction, and maintains performance across a very wide temperature range. These properties make PTFE-based greases ideal for chemically aggressive environments and sensitive applications such as chemical processing equipment, valves and seals, and clean-room or vacuum systems.

Complex soap hybrid thickeners combine soap-based and non-soap thickener systems, such as lithium-polyurea blends, to achieve tailored performance characteristics. By leveraging the strengths of multiple chemistries, these greases can offer a balanced combination of thermal stability, mechanical durability, and water resistance. Complex soap hybrids are commonly developed for OEM-specific requirements and advanced automotive or industrial designs where standard thickener systems are insufficient.
