iglidur® F300 - particularly resistant for e-coated assemblies and highly wear-resistant
The new material iglidur® F300 was primarily optimised for requirements that occur before the actual use as a plain bearing. Particularly in the manufacture of automobiles, but also for other vehicles or furniture, partially assembled assemblies are provided with a cathodic dip coating (e-coating). In this process, the assembly is energised, dipped in aqueous paint and then dried at high temperatures.

This process places special demands on the stability of the material and only works if it is sufficiently electrically conductive. iglidur® F300 offers not only very good conductivity for plastic, but also mechanical and thermal stability and, last but not least, good wear behaviour.

We have developed iglidur® F300 for this purpose
The e-coating process places special demands on bearing materials. On the one hand, they must be conductive, as the coating can only adhere to those areas that are electrically energised. On the other hand, high temperatures are generated during the drying process, which can impair the mechanical stability of many plastic materials.

Specially optimised to meet these requirements, the new iglidur® F300 plain bearing material is particularly suitable for applications in which pre-assembled assemblies with pressed-in plain bearings are e-coated. These include applications in automobiles and commercial vehicles, but also in furniture or bicycles.
