iglidur GLW
iglidur GLW is part of the igus iglidur range of engineering-polymer (tribopolymer) dry-running plain bearings — injection-moulded self-lubricating plastic composite bushings. A refined, lower-wear evolution of iglidur G, overlapping the low-friction sliding role of Metafram Metagliss composite plates in bush form. Choose GLW over BP25 sintered bronze where corrosion immunity plus low friction and extended wear life outweigh the higher load rating of metal.
