PARAMUS, NJ – October 31, 2024 – Curtiss-Wright’s Surface Technologies Division, a leading

global provider of highly engineered surface treatments and analytical services, is proud to

announce Everlube Products, a business of Curtiss-Wright, has successfully transitioned all

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) raw materials to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

compliant grades in response to increasing regulatory scrutiny on "forever chemicals." PFAS

are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and have been termed ‘forever chemicals’ because

of the time it takes our bodies to break them down. They are present in countless items used

every day including automotive, off-road vehicles, commercial aviation, chemical processing,

and medical to semi-conductor, aerospace and defense. We are being exposed to them

constantly through what we breath, touch and eat, whether as an end user or supply chain

partner. Small, but repeated, exposures to PFAS can build up and eventually interfere with

hormones, affecting a range of impacts from mood and sleep to blood pressure, metabolism

and reproduction.

With this transition, Everlube Products now meets both the US FDA's limit of less than 100 parts

per million (PPM) and the European Union's more stringent limit of less than 25 parts per billion

(PPB). The company's dry film lubricants are now fully aligned with these rigorous standards.

As part of its commitment to innovation and regulatory compliance, Everlube Products has also

developed a completely fluoropolymer-free dry film lubricant, Everlube 6117, which has been

thoroughly tested by an established OEM in the pump and valve industry. “Going beyond global

regulatory standards and developing a fully fluoropolymer-free dry film lubricant is a significant

milestone for Everlube® Products, and it reflects our dedication to offering high-quality,

environmentally responsible solutions to our customers,” said David Rivellini, Vice President

and General Manager of the Surface Technologies division.

About Everlube 6117

Everlube 6117 is a cutting-edge dry film lubricant specifically designed for light load

applications. It serves as an effective dry lubricant for small diameter fasteners and complies

with strict US state regulations for 100% PFAS-free products suitable for potable water

applications. This new product is the result of Everlube Products' continued investment in

research and development, aimed at delivering advanced solutions that address both

performance and environmental challenges.
