Igus introduces new material for the food industry
In the food and packaging industry, sorting and packing zones are subject to constant movement of goods and temperature changes. For these storage mechanisms to perform flawlessly, long-lasting plain bearing solutions are required that can withstand friction and heat long-term. Another challenge is the creation of electrostatic charge. Igus has now developed a new wear-resistant material, iglidur AX500, for high temperature applications that also has electrostatic discharge properties.
