igus® announces it has developed a new polymer bearing material called iglide® JPF that is free of both per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This innovation marks an important step in the company's efforts to create sustainable alternatives to conventional plain bearings.igus® has developed iglide JPF, a new self-lubricating plain bearing material without PFAS. (Source: igus GmbH) Due to their water, heat and dirt resistance, PFAS and PTFE are key materials in the production of self-lubricating plain bearings in a variety of industries. However, PFAS degrade slowly, posing risks to both human health and the environment. Addressing these concerns, iglide® JPF is a plain bearing material delivering high wear resistance and durability without the use of PFAS or PTFE. This dry-running, wear-resistant polymer offers comparable friction and wear performance to iglide® J, and its development is a response to growing global regulatory pressures
