Getting greener
September 1st 2011

igus UK has developed a plain bearing material based on 54% sustainable and natural raw materials. The basic polymer of the iglidur N54 is mainly made of castor oil, rather than finite crude oil. The company's mechanically and tribologically optimised biopolymer is suitable for universal use in the low-load range. The tribological plastic material is both lubricant and maintenance free; test results show excellent wear resistance properties with loads to 2MPa.
