“Our mission stays to offer merchandise ‘made in Germany’ that improve buyer competitiveness whereas delivering sustainable, cost-effective options with out compromising high quality,” says Michael Blass, CEO of e-chain® methods at igus®.
PTFE-Free Supplies
igus® has addressed regulatory modifications concerning polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) by researching and growing different supplies. By way of intensive in-house testing, these formulations are proven to carry out higher than conventional PTFE-containing supplies. igus® has launched PTFE-free options for its whole vary of iglidur® commonplace supplies, which be part of the corporate’s PTFE-free and PFAS-tested linear guides, slewing ring bearings and tribotape® liners.
Cable Carriers Made From Recycled Supplies
igus® additionally advances sustainability via its “chainge” recycling program utilizing discarded vitality chains, fishing nets and different recycled supplies. After efficiently introducing a recycled vitality chain in 2022, igus® is transitioning its whole E2.1 sequence to the recycled materials — a growth that reduces the carbon footprint by roughly 80% with out compromising mechanical specs or rising prices.
“By way of this recycled sequence, we empower our clients to actively take part within the plastics round financial system,” says Blass.
Dry Cleanroom Certification
In response to rising demand for electrical car (EV) batteries, igus® has collaborated with Fraunhofer IPA to determine a long-term cleanroom certification for its merchandise. The E6.29 e-chain® — beforehand licensed for cleanroom functions — has efficiently maintained its efficiency, with the e-skin® tender SKS28 reaching ISO Class 4 after 15 million double strokes and ten months of testing. The E6 vitality chain has additionally retained excessive efficiency.
Hannover Messe 2025 attendees are inspired to go to igus® in Corridor 6, Stand E26 to discover these progressive and sustainable movement plastics options.
