Wear-resistant filament with higher temperature resistance - iglidur J260

iglidur J260 is available as an injection moulding, bar stock and 3D printing material (filament) and shows very similar friction and wear specifications in all manufacturing processes. It is therefore a reliable material for product development from prototype up to high volume production. It has the best coefficient of friction and wear of the tribofilaments, as well as an increased long-term temperature resistance of 120 °C. But it is also much more demanding to process: the printer should be able to achieve an extrusion temperature of 280 °C and a printing bed temperature of 120 °C, and ideally have a heated installation space. Without a heated installation space, only smaller components can be printed.

When to use it?

• If the wear resistance of iglidur i150 or iglidur i180 is not sufficient.
• When a higher application temperature of up to 120 °C is required.
• From prototype to series: the same material for 3D printing, milling from bar stock and injection moulding

When not to use it?

• If your existing 3D printer does not have a build chamber heater (→ iglidur i180)
• When mechanical specifications are very important in addition to abrasion resistance (→ iglidur i180, iglidur i150)
• When complex parts have to be produced
