...class1.
The single demand for all cleanroom products is that as few particles as possible should be released into the environment. This is especially important for moving dynamic systems, for example E-Chains and cables. A high resistance to wear results in less particles, as well as ensuring a long life time. This is the common objective for the development of all igus-products. A new report of IPA, Fraunhofer Institut, proves the best possible classification ISO class 1 for a large number of igus-products.

Best possible certified classification: E-Chain series E3, E

As well as clean room suitability, there is often a requirement for ESD protection. With the E-Chain Series "EasyChain" made of igumid NB, a range of products are available ex stock which have the best possible ESD-compatibility Level 1 acc. to Semi E780998 certified by IPA. Also a large number of E-Chains are available in ESD/ATEX-version on request with PTB certifcate. The ESD E-Chain even has a longer life time than the standard material. When compared with the traditional solutions using temporary conductive layers or built in static inhibitors, the igus options offer a long lasting and maintenance free conductivity. And additional advantage is the resistance to unfavourable environmental conditions. There is a large range of electrically conductive iglidur polymer bearing materials. I.e. the high-tech problem solver iglidur X with a specific volume resistance <105 cm and a surface resistance < 103 . Please request further iglidur-materials and technical data for your apllication!
