A COMPOSITION OF MATTER CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF FINELY DIVIDED DEGRADED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN PARTICLES AND A PARENT MATERIAL THEREFOR, SAID PARENT MATERIAL BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF THERMOSETTING AND THERMOPLASTIC RESINS AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF, SAID DEGRADED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN BEING FORMED BY HEATING POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN STARTING MATERIAL AT A TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 785*F. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE APPRECIABLE DEGRADATION OF SAID POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE STARTING MATERIAL TO A POINT SUCH THAT THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE DEGRADED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE IS PERMANENTLY SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THAT OF THE STARTING MATERIAL, AND SAID DEGRADED RESIN PARTICLES BEING PRESENT IN AN AMOUNT OF 5 TO 50% BY VOLLUME OF SAID PARENT RESIN AND BEING UNIFORMLY AND EVENLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT SAID PARENT FOR REDUCING THE SURFACE FRICTION THEREOF.
