loads, abrasion resistance, sturdiness, stable behaviour high and low temperatures, and
suitability for outdoor use. The focal points our tests
are push/pull forces, friction values and abrasion under widely varying conditions and speeds, as
well factors such dirt, weathering impact and bumps.70

igus® offers several solutions for high-radiation
areas. The igus® igumid compounds satisfy these, sometimes contradictory,
requirements. +120°C (248°F) continuous
temperatures are possible with igumid short-
