Fire-retardant high-temperature filament, ideal for the railway industry

iglidur RW370 is an abrasion-resistant, high-temperature tribofilament which was specifically developed for use in railway vehicles. As such, its fire-retardant specifications conform to UL94-V0 and EN45545. In addition, it has the maximum mechanical strength of all tribofilaments and a long-term temperature resistance of 170 °C, which makes it the material of choice for high-temperature applications. Due to its high processing temperature of 350 – 360 °C and a mandatory installation space temperature of min. 160 °C, a high-temperature 3D printer is required for processing. The filament is very sensitive to moisture and should be stored in a drying container and actively dried regularly. iglidur RW370 is also available as injection moulding and bar stock material.

When to use it?

• When the application requires high temperature resistance
• When the mechanical strength of the other tribofilaments is not sufficient
• When fire-retardant specifications are required
• From prototype to series: the same material for 3D printing, milling from bar stock and injection moulding

When not to use it?

• When your existing 3D printer does not have a build chamber heater (→ iglidur i180)
• When very high wear resistance at high-temperature load is required (→ iglidur A350)
