chainflex® is PTFE/PFAS-free
Operational safety guaranteed and confirmed worldwide
chainflex® dispenses with PTFE
A ban on PFAS was already being discussed at EU level at the beginning of 2023, as the substances do not decompose naturally and are therefore permanently present in the environment as "forever chemicals". This chemical, which also includes PTFE, is not used in chainflex cables. The new logo confirms that PTFE has been dispensed with in igus chainflex cables. If a general ban is announced, no chainflex cables will have to be disposed of or replaced and can continue to be used worldwide without any concerns.
