APPLICATIONAPPLICATION

By brining innovation to the workability of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, it can now be used in a variety of applications.

Filters> Narrow particle size distribution > Spherical shape > Chemical resistance

Products
Porous filters, activated carbon binders, etc.
Sintering method
Sinter in an environment above the melting point for dozens of minutes
Advantages to usingMIPELON
Due to the properties imparted by the spherical shape and narrow size distribution of the particles, delicate pore size control is possible, enabling high-quality filters to be molded. Additionally, thanks to its high dispersability,MIPELON can also be used as a filter binder that improves the strength and elasticity of a filter.

Rubber modification for OA and industrial parts> Abrasion resistance > Sliding properties > Chemical resistance

Products
Rubber rolls, robber hoses, drive belts, wipers, etc.
Additive Base Materials
MIPELON can be added to rubbers such as EPDM, IRR, BR, and NBR at 5 - 10% weight.
Advantages to using MIPELON
For industrial, automotive and other rubber products, MIPELON disperses and emerges on the surface of the rubber, improving the abrasion resistance and durability of rubber rolls. It is especially compatible with EPDM, which is an olefin-based material. For the rubber stoppers of pharmaceutical vials, it is possible to make hardness adjustments as a polyethylene-derived additive that is not harmful to humans. Additionally, due to its enhancing effects on sliding properties, MIPELON also improves the penetration qualities of needles. For industrial, automotive and other rubber products, MIPELON disperses and emerges on the surface of the rubber, improving the abrasion resistance and durability of rubber rolls. It is especially compatible with EPDM, which is an olefin-based material.

Glass-run channels> Abrasion resistance > Sliding properties > Improved workability

Products
For EPDM-based glass run channels (GRCs), LUBMER can be co-extruded on the surface layer to improve durability, sliding properties and workability. Additionally, for TPV-based GRCs,  MIPELON can be added to the coating and applied to improve durability and sliding properties.
Usage
LUBMER: Co-extrusion molding on EPDM surface layer
MIPELON: The TPV surface is coated with a  MIPELON-added coating to improve sliding properties and abrasion resistance.
Advantages to Using LUBMER and MIPELON
As LUBMER can be simultaneously molded during EPDM extrusion, the process costs for coating, etc. can be reduced. Moreover, it can achieve high sliding properties, quietness and durability that is equal to or better than other methods. MIPELON involves coating a TPV surface with a MIPELON-added coating. Putting MIPELON into contact with a slippery glass surface can improve its durability and quietness.

Coating modifier> Abrasion resistance > Sliding properties

Products
Sliding coatings for rubbers, metals and plastics
How it is Added
Added at 3 - 10% weight to a urethane, epoxy or acrylic-based coating.
Can also be used for water-based coatings (will better disperse if a dispersant is added).
Advantages to using MIPELON
By using MIPELON, a layer of MIPELON forms on the surface of the coating, and since MIPELON instead of the substrate appears on the coating surface, the sliding properties and abrasion resistance of the coating are improved.

Grease modifier> Durability > Quietness

Products
Greases for automotive components (slide rails, components of moving mechanisms for car windows), food greases, etc.
How it is Added
Around 10% weight is added to lithium soap grease, etc. Not suitable for use under environments exceeding the melting point.
Advantages to using MIPELON
Using MIPELON helps improve the durability of a grease itself. Additionally, due to the spherical shape of MIPELON, it exhibits micro-bearing effects to help improve quietness.
Advantages to using MIPELON™
Heidon reciprocating abrasion test results. Driving force is reduced and squeaking noise can be inhibited on a product with no additive.

Film AB agents> Scratch resistance (abrasion resistance) > Sliding properties > Non-fall-off properties

Products
Food packaging films, protect films, etc.
How it is Added
Around 1% of total weight is added to an olefin-based film such as an LLDPE sealant layer or OPP film.
Advantages to using MIPELON
MIPELON has high sliding properties and can impart AB properties. Additionally, as it is softer than inorganic AB agents and is an olefin-based substance, it can help prevent film or box-making machine scratching or fall-off, as well as mono-materialization.

Engineering plastic modifier> Sliding properties > Abrasion resistance > Quietness

Products
Engineering plastics such as PA6, PA66 and POM
How it is Added
Adding 2-10% weight to a substrate resin and pelletizing (melt blending) is recommended.
Advantages to Using LUBMER
By adding LUBMER, it is possible to improve the sliding properties and abrasion resistance of a substrate without reducing its mechanical properties. Doing so can help improve quietness and enhance durability. For this reason, LUBMER is used for automotive applications that require greater quietness due to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, and as a modifier for the sliding components used in a variety of applications including home appliances and mechanical items.
