Jun 04, 2008 Self-lubricating iglide® R and iglide J are semi-finished products that can be used in any machined part. Anything machined from these 2 in. dia solid rods will possess material qualities such as resistance to dirt, dust, wear, and friction. Materials consist of complementary polymers, reinforcing fibers, and solid lubricants that help optimize material properties. When used as bearing, machined plastic parts will have predictable life span.
