What is the difference between iglidur materials and simple plastics such as POM and PA6?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

iglidur materials are so-called compounds, plastics that have been mixed with special filling materials and additives. They give the plastic compound additional properties such as greater mechanical strength or protection against UV radiation, and are specially developed for use as plain bearings for dry operation – i.e. they do not require lubrication. Every iglidur material is subjected […]
