Easy-to-process, abrasion-resistant filament for the printing of food grade components in blue

The iglidur i151 tribofilament is suitable for the printing of components with high wear resistance, as the material is filled with solid lubricants. It was specifically developed for use in the food and packaging industry: the printed components conform to FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011 and the blue colour ensures the required optical detectability. iglidur i151 is also an all-rounder material, and due to its good mechanical properties (strength, toughness, layer adhesion) it is suitable for most applications and 3D printers. It can be processed just as easily as standard PLA and PETG filaments. iglidur i151 has comparable mechanical specifications as iglidur i150, by far the most frequently used igus filament. There are restrictions in terms of the maximum permanent application temperature of 65°C and for highly dynamic applications. With the Bonding agent for tribofilaments iglidur i151 can be processed on conventional print bed surfaces (e.g. glass).

When to use it?

• If the application requires a food grade material according to FDA or EU 10/2011
• When an optically detectable material is required
• For applications with low or medium surface speeds (safe up to 0.2 m/s, test for higher speeds)
• If you are looking for an easy to process tribofilament that can be processed on any 3D printer
• If I have a 3D printer without a heated print bed

• When the application temperature is higher than 65°C for a long time (→ iglidur i180 or iglidur J260 or iglidur A350 for food contact)
• For highly dynamic applications (→ iglidur i180)
• If food conformity, according to FDA ,and the blue colour are not necessary (→ iglidur i150)

Adhesive film for the print bed necessary if the print bed is not heated.
