iglide® B160 – round bar stock
iglide® B160 is a black, cost-efficient triboplastic offering improved wear behavior over A160 and smooth running on hard-anodized aluminum shafts. It provides low friction, low moisture uptake and quiet motion for low to medium loads, making it a smart choice where appearance, value and dependable service life matter.
When to use it: For visible components that need black color, quiet motion and long life on aluminum shafts at low to medium loads.
When not to use it: For very high loads, consider W300; for direct food contact, consider A160 or A181.
