Abstract:
Self-lubricating fastener devices with interlocking rails or interlocking members of a polymer and a slip system additive with a roughening agent and lubricant dispersed throughout the polymer are provided. Methods for production of self-lubricating fastener devices and their use in liquid-resistant or liquid-proof articles are also provided. A particular advantage is the ability of the devices to repeatedly reestablish a self-lubricated surface, even after solvent cleaning.
