clean...

This is the common objective for the de-velopment of all igus®-products. A new report of IPA, Fraunhofer Institut,proves the best possible classification ISOclass 1 for a large number of igus®-pro-ducts.

The single demand for all cleanroom products is that as fewparticles as possible should be released into the environ-ment. This is especially important for moving dynamic sys -tems, for example E-Chains® and cables. A high resistanceto wear results in less particles, as well as ensuring a long lifetime.

Test setup

As well as clean room suitabi-lity, there is often a require-ment for ESD protection. Withthe E-Chain® Series "Easy-Chain®" made of igumid NB, arange of products are availableex stock which have the bestpossible ESD-compatibilityLevel 1 acc. to Semi E78-0998 certified by IPA.Also a large number of E-Chains® are available in ESD/ATEX-versionon request – with PTB certifcate. The ESD E-Chain® even has a longer life time than the standard ma-terial. When compared with the traditional solutions using temporary con-ductive layers or built in static inhibitors, the igus® options offer a longlasting and maintenance free conductivity. And additional advantageis the resistance to unfavourable environmental conditions.
