iglide® HSD350 - plate strip

iglide® HSD350 – 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.

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)
