Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

iglidur materials are so-called compounds. Compounds are plastics to which special fillers, reinforcing agents and additives have been added. These give the plastic compound additional specifications such as higher mechanical stability, better sliding properties or protection against UV radiation. iglidur materials have been developed specifically for use as dry operating – i.e. without lubrication – […]
