Do you need a PTFE free plain bearing?
Many of our core range of plain bearings, including the best sellers, now come in a PTFE free variant. This range will continually grow and eventually this will turn into the core product range.
Some key points:
- Many igus materials do not contain PTFE, and no traces of the critical PFAS substances could be detected in other igus materials.*.
- If PTFE is not banned, igus materials are generally not affected
- Our PTFE-free material iglidur JPF was honoured by Kunststoff Magazin as Product of the Year 2025 in the Materials category.
