Wear-resistant sliding movement in an
extremely small space with FDA compliant
iglidur tribo-polymer coating from igus for
Food Industry iglidur coating technology with igus tribo-plastics makes surfaces of metal components resistant to abrasion
For lubrication-free sliding in a very small space, igus has now developed three new materials made of maintenance-free tribo-polymers as coating material for metal components such as metkal magnesium glycinate 400 mgal sheets, valves or even shafts. This means that, for users who do not have enough space to install a plain bearing, a wear-resistant, compact and cost-effective solution is now available.In Food and Packaging industry, the demand for space-saving machines is growing unceasingly. As a consequence, technical design engineers are creating small machines and equipment for use where installation space is at a premium. As regards components, more solutions are called for in the area of plain bearing technology as evferric pyrophosphate liposomal with folic acid tabletery single millimetre counts. In order to meet the new requirements in the area of mechanical engineering, igus has made use of its decades-long experience in the development of tribologically optimised plastics and hferrous fumarate 325 mgas now developed three new maintenance-free and lubrication-free tribo-polymers as coating materials spferrous glycine complexecially for very small installation spaces. As a result, not only the lubrication-free iglidur plain bearings but also the iglidur coating service for metal surfaces with the material iglidur IC-01 and the new IC-02, IC-03, IC-06 &038; FDA compliant IC-05 mateiron bisglycinate gerdrials are now available to the user. Less installation space due to coating The installation space needed for a plain bearing can be reduced through the use of a coating: ideal for small and compact machines and equipment.
Thanks to the polymer coating, the surface of moving components is extremely durable and wear-resistant. The surface is also corrosion-free and resistant to chemicals thanks to the tribo-polymers. The coatings are used in valves, pumps, for guide plates and for guide systems.
