Firing behaviour of energy chain with igumid® G and NB

The material from which igus® energy chain is made must be able to withstand a lot: Compressive and tensile strain, abrasion resistance, good toughness, high modulus of elasticity, stable behaviour at high and low temperatures, suitable for outdoor use. The igus® compound igumid® G fulfils these sometimes contradictory requirements. The numerous applications from cold stores to steelworks prove this. In very special cases, we also offer modifications and other igus® compounds as a special solution.

Burning behaviour igumid® NB

All e-chain® of the types igus® easy chain® and series 14 and F17 are manufactured from the material igumid® NB. These have the following fire classifications:

UL94 classification - V2
VDE 0304 Part 3/5.70 Classification - IIb
DIN 4102 Flammability of building materials - B2
Please enquire about available V0 variants
