Lubrication-free tribo-polymer iglidur I8-ESD enables the cost-effective manufacture of durable special parts with no minimum order quantity For safe and reliable production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that have electrostatically conductive properties. This is because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production lines. igus has now developed a new stable material for the SLS method so that users can make their wearing parts with ESD properties flexibly and cost-effectively. The lubrication-free special parts made of iglidur I8-ESD can be printed and shipped within just few days.Wear-resistant parts in the electronics and semiconductor industry are not…
The coronavirus pandemic has turned into a watershed event. Most things are being looked at as pre-corona and post-corona. Every industrial sector is looking at the post-corona era with trepidation and uncertainty. Though most sectors may take quite a long time for recovering, the industrial lubricants market should recover comparatively sooner. Especially, in India things look brighter for the industry with a colossal market at its disposal. Asia-Pacific (APAC) has been the largest industrial lubricants market, on account of swift industrialisation in emerging economies such as India and China. In addition to this, modernisation of industrial machinery is predicted to…

Recycling is great for the environment, but it can be cumbersome, heavy on the pocket and requires a lot of space. Then there’s the resources needed to transport materials, which add to the cost and ironically, these are hauled in trucks that burn fuel. These are some of the main reasons why most people don’t bother with recycling, but there is a very simple solution that can take care of the problem – Trash Compactors. Staying Green with Trash Compactors Like every other measure for saving the environment, recycling must be implemented responsibly to maximize efficiency and production. Tons of…

As the world comes to grips with the Covid-19 pandemic certain changes are taking place rapidly. Paradigm shifts are taking place all over the globe. The most significant change being noticed is a tentative shift of manufacturing companies from China. It should be noted in this regard that Wuhan, the Chinese province where the Coronavirus has supposedly originated, is also one of the biggest manufacturing hubs in the world. Although China is limping back to normalcy the companies are not too comfortable operating from the country. Against this backdrop it is expected that India stands a fantastic chance to replace…
