Chips up to 850 °C

New: E-Tubes that repel hot chips, up to 850 ºC

igus® plastic E-Tubes have successfully been used in chip areas for almost 20 years. Some applications, depending on amount and size of the chips, left burn- and melt marks. That is no longer the case with the new igus® "igumid HT" material. This opens new possibilities for replacing difficult- to-handle steel tubes.

Program range: All standard E2 and E4 E-Tube sizes, upon request

Industries: Machine tools, foundries, steel plants


Testing of igumid HT

Test: 20 grams of hot chips (200-850 ºC) were put onto different materials. The chart shows the amount of burntin chips. igumid HT tested best.
