Wear is an important aspect of parts in moving applications. Wear-resistant polymers such as our
iglide® materials are the solution for minimising wear and increasing the parts' service life. Due to the tribological
properties, the iglide® materials are perfect for all application areas in which good coefficient of friction and very low wear are important.
The
igus® test laboratory covers 3,800m². In an extensive series of experiments, igus is researching and developing new 3D printing materials for moving applications in the industry's largest test laboratory. All materials are tested regarding their tribological properties in different test series so as to minimize wear and maintenance intervals. They are particularly low-friction and wear-resistant and ensure a self-lubricating and low-maintenance operation. iglide®
polymers offer very good tribological properties and ensure a longer service life for polymer components.
