chainflex® is PTFE/PFAS-free

CF-ptfe-free

Operational safety guaranteed and confirmed worldwide

chainflex® does not use 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 the elimination of PTFE 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.
