High performance plastic material for continuous steam exposure



Treotham presents a new self-lubricating bearing material developed by igus to resist steam, moisture and pressure in sterilisation and autoclaving applications. The new iglide HSD350 material from igus offers an affordable alternative to metallic options in high temperature conditions.

The process of autoclaving, which is used to kill bacteria in food and pharmaceutical production, can create a number of problems for components from the high heat and steam pressure. For instance, the steam and high heat used in the autoclaving process require metallic bearings to have special lubrication.

To address these issues, igus developed a new self-lubricating bearing material offering resistance to steam, moisture and pressure. Suitable for continuous use in hygienic conditions, even with regular sterilisation, the new iglide material can endure continuous temperatures of 180°C as well as temporary exposure to temperatures up to 210°C.

Due to the low moisture absorption and thermal expansion, the iglide HSD350 material is ideal for use in autoclaves and steam chambers, food production, pharmaceutical manufacturing and cleaning of medical tools.

igus provides bearings and joints that allow for high levels of sterilisation, even in complex, non-separable units.
