High-performance plastic material for continuous steam exposure28/06/2016
In applications that require autoclaving to kill bacteria, steam pressure and high heat can create a range of problems and special considerations for components. For metallic bearings, the high heat and steam used in the autoclaving process requires special lubrication; however, sterilization can be limited by use of these lubricants. To resolve this important issue in the production of food products and pharmaceuticals, as well as in the cleaning of medical tools, igus has developed a new, self-lubricating bearing material, resistant to steam, pressure, and moisture. |
