Strong, Low Friction material better than teflon?

[jnguyen7]

I'm working on an engineering problem where we are using Teflon as a low-friction material as a surface for plastic parts to move above. However, the material is wearing faster than expected due to the plastic rubbing away at the Teflon. Is there a non-metallic material that has equal or better low-friction characteristics to Teflon, yet it is stronger then plastic?

It's unclear if the Teflon or the plastic parts are wearing?
If it's the Teflon wearing, use a harder Teflon, if it's the plastic parts, use a softer Teflon.
Why do you need good strength? Is the low friction surface also structural?

The Teflon is wearing.

You could use Devatex 1, Orkot TXM-M, Tenmat T814, Lubron or bar stock from iglide called J350 or something similar.

Look at Rulon, several different flavors.

Maybe the plastic parts that abraid the Teflon are reinforced with glass fiber or some other abraisive filler?
