igus offers iglidur A181, a lubrication-free and maintenance-free plain bearing material, which meet the requirements of FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011 EC. It also achieves low wear rates especially in combination with corrosion-resistant shaft types. In the processing of food and drink, the ability to offer consistently safe products to the consumer is crucial. In addition, iglidur A181 fulfills, like all iglidur materials, the RoHS specifications. Because, based on the principle of the incorporated dry lubrication, the iglidur bearing technology exclusively uses non-metallic and RoHS-safe ingredients for the compounds made of tribologically optimised base polymers, solid lubricants and fillers.

"Due to a variety of properties coupled with good price/performance ratio, especially in the food sector, the iglidur A181 enjoys a great popularity among our customers," says René Achnitz, Head of the iglidur plain bearings division, igus.
