Ahren Xia | March 18, 2021

When a new product is being developed or shortly before a food, packaging, or beverage machine test phase, receiving prototype samples of a plain bearing or other components as quickly as possible can be very important.

iglidur polymer bar stock allows such components to be manufactured easily … with no minimum order quantity. It is available as plates, round bars, or hollow rods made of various high-performance iglidur polymers & in a wide range of sizes and dimensions. All of them are 100% maintenance-free and lubrication-free. Many of them are available from stock and can be delivered immediately. These three materials are especially useful for work with food:
