iglidur ECO: first plain bearing program made of regranulated tribo plastics

Social change, responsibility towards the environment and the changed handling of plastics are also leaving their mark on the industry. For customers for whom a more sustainable design of their moving application is important, igus now offers an interesting alternative: Four new, lubricant-free materials made of recycled plastic are available in the new iglidur ECO range. With this, igus now starts even earlier in the product life cycle and thus conserves resources. The sustainable iglidur materials ECO H, ECO P, ECO A180 and ECO G consist of 97 to 100 percent regranulated production waste such as sprues or defective parts. iglidur ECO H is particularly resistant to temperature and media and is therefore suitable for highly corrosive and hot environments. iglidur ECO P offers high mechanical strength with low moisture absorption and is thus optimized for outdoor use. The cost-effective iglidur ECO A180 material is suitable for price-sensitive applications, while iglidur ECO G is extremely robust and versatile.
