PTFE (Teflon) rubbing on PTFE will create a bit of friction, depending on the load. And it will create heat. Remember that PTFE is pretty "slippery" and will not abrade too quickly unless a gross amount of force is applied.

What is polytetrafluoethylene?

PolytetrafluoroethyleneIn chemistry, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that finds numerous applications. PTFE is most well known by the DuPont brand name Teflon.PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water and water-containing substances are wet by PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is very non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon-fluorine bonds, and so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. Where used as a lubricant, PTFE reduces friction, wear, and energy consumption of machinery.

Is there a simple test to be able to tell if a material is PTFE or Teflon?

PTFE and Teflon are essentially the same material; PTFE is the scientific name for Teflon. To test if a material is PTFE/Teflon, you can check if it is non-stick, heat-resistant, and has a smooth, slippery surface.
