Sustainable plain bearing materials
26 October 2022
FOR CUSTOMERS who want a more sustainable design for their moving application, igus now offers four new materials made of recycled plastic in its new iglidur 'ECO programme'.
The new series consists of 97% to 100% regranulated iglidur materials. For example, using plastic sprues that are used in injection molding production, a classic waste product in manufacturing that igus now reuses.
The new materials offer advantages across a wide variety of applications. iglidur ECO H is temperature- and media-resistant and is therefore suitable for highly corrosive environments. iglidur ECO P offers high mechanical strength with low moisture absorption and is therefore optimised for outdoor use. The cost-effective material iglidur ECO A180 is suitable for price-sensitive applications, while iglidur ECO G is robust and versatile.
