Self-lubricating, maintenance-free xiros® stainless steel guide roller ensures safe operation

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- igus®, a global leading manufacturer of engineered components with the purpose to increase the service life of customers' machines, has expanded the range of self-lubricating and maintenance-free xiros® guide rollers to include a dissipative variant made of stainless steel.

When you are in a department store with rubber soled shoes and you grab the banister of the escalator, you get an electric shock: unpleasant, but not a major problem. On the other hand, the situation is different in many industrial production and processing operations, such as machines and systems for film production or food packaging. Uncontrolled electrostatic discharges and sparks can lead to machine damage, high downtime and repair costs, and worst case scenario, can even trigger fires and explosions.

To guard against discharges and prevent damage, igus® has developed the xiros® stainless steel guide roller - a kind of rotating lightning conductor that ensures a controlled

Ethnicity May Impact How Your Skin Ages

While differences in ethnic skin aging were discussed, it is important to remember that we are all human beings and the authors hope that this will lead to further research to benefit all skin types”

— Stephanie Chan, BS

PROVIDENCE, RI, USA, January 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Aging is an important topic in dermatology and the field of medicine as a whole. By the year 2030, over 20% of US residents are estimated to be over 65 years or older. This represents a 7% increase from 2010. The most obvious signs of aging are present in the skin. Skin aging manifests in many different ways and includes wrinkles, thinning, discoloration and sagging or loose skin. Ethnic differences in the skin aging process have been previously described. Many scientists, including dermatologists, have traditionally assumed that the most important driver of skin aging is Fitzpatrick skin type (FST). However, more recent data suggest that other factors may be prominent as well.

A new study in SKIN: The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine® reviewed the current
