Predictable service life

Product description

Selective laser sintering (SLS) material: iglide® i8-ESD

The laser sintering material iglide® i8-ESD has a high abrasion resistance and is electrostatically dissipative (ESD). ESD specifications are essential, especially in the electronics industry, to prevent damage to electronic components.
This material is also interesting for all other industries where electrostatic charges are to be avoided.

Contact resistance 10⁶ to 10⁹ Ohm * cm
Excellent service life - e.g. pivotable: Abrasion resistance factor 2 according to PA12
Gear service life calculator for gears made of iglide® i8-ESD
Rigidity 60% higher than with iglide® i3
Suitable for all standard laser sintering systems
Suitable for standard laser sintering systems with CO₂ laser
Suitable for low-cost laser sintering systems

When to use it?

When ESD specifications are required
For applications under water or with high humidity
When components with high stiffness are required
When components with high UV resistance are required
For gear applications under water
For gear applications where ESD specifications are required
When black components are required
If I want to produce wear-resistant laser sintering components on a low-cost laser sintering system (no CO₂ laser required)

When not to use it?

For worm wheel applications (→ iglidur i6)
If the application requires a food grade material (→ iglidur i6)
If the application temperature is higher than +176°F in the long term (→ iglidur A350 or iglide® RW370-PF)
