Selective laser sintering (SLS) material: iglidur® i230

The iglidur i230 laser sintering powder stands out as another all-rounder material among the iglidur SLS materials. Unlike iglidur i3, however, it is designed for higher application temperatures and withstands long-term temperatures of up to 110° Celsius. Moreover, the material is 80 % more wear-resistant than PA12. Of all iglidur SLS materials, iglidur i230 offers the highest flexural strength and, in addtion, it has electrostatically dissipative (ESD) properties.

Good to know: iglidur i230 contains no PTFE and is therefore not affected by future PFAS regulations. You can find the corresponding PFAS test report in the "Downloads" tab.

When to use it?

• When a PTFE-free material is required
• If the application temperature is above 80 °C in the long term and at a maximum of 110 °C
• If components with high mechanical strength (also structural components) are required
• If components with ESD properties are required up to 110 °C application temperature

When not to use it?

• If components with higher wear resistance at max. 80 °C application temperature are required (→ iglidur I3-PL)
• If components with ESD properties up to 80 °C application temperature are required (→ iglidur I8-ESD or iglidur i9-ESD)
• For worm wheel applications (→ iglidur I6-PL)
• If the application requires a food-safe material (→ iglidur I6-PL)
• When components with higher elasticity are required (→ iglidur I10-PL)
• If the application temperature is higher than 110 °C in the long term (→ iglidur A350-PF or iglidur RW370)
