iglide® HSD350 bar stock - plate strip

iglide® HSD350 bar stock – plate strip
iglide® HSD350 is a heat-capable triboplastic for clean, hygienic environments. It provides stable wear and low friction in elevated temperatures and frequent washdown, making it a solid choice for long, straight wear rails and pads near hot process areas.

When to use it: For heat-exposed, hygiene-focused guide strips that need clean, dry-running performance.
When not to use it: For the strongest chemical resistance at high heat, consider X or AD500; for general-purpose moderate loads, see J350; for a cost-effective black strip, see JB.

Industry/Application Areas

• Food and beverage packaging near heat
• Ovens, hot-fill, and warm process zones
• CIP/SIP washdown sections

igus® plate strips are narrow flat stock that minimize scrap for long, straight parts. You buy only the length needed while keeping a consistent width for quick cutting and repeatable wear rails or guide pads. Strips retain iglide® advantages: dry running, low wear, and material choices for hygiene and temperature needs. Available in round bar stock, plate stock, sheet stock, plate strips, and custom profiles (upon request).

When to use plate strips

• Long, straight wear rails, guides, or pads that fit the strip width
• Projects prioritizing scrap reduction and material cost control
• Fast cut to length with simple, repeatable fixturing
• Consistent width to streamline fixture design and throughput

When not to use plate strips

• Parts wider than the strip or requiring large pocketed faces (choose plate stock)
• Thin liners, shims, or low profile wear layers (choose sheet stock)
• Curved or complex 2D profiles that nest better on larger plates or sheets
• Turned, round geometries (choose round bar)
