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 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.
Using HI-ZEX MILLION™ and LUBMER™ can make it possible to mold components with extremely high abrasion resistance. Additionally, the sliding properties help to prevent the generation of noise when resins scrape against one another.
Recommended Brands
LUBMER™ : L3000, L4000, L5000, etc.
HI-ZEX MILLION™ : 030S, 145M, 240S, etc.
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.
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.
Heidon reciprocating abrasion test results. Driving force is reduced and squeaking noise can be inhibited on a product with no additive.
Recommended Brands
MIPELON™ : XM-220, XM-221U, PM-200, etc.
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.
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.
Internal gear components, rail components, switches, etc.
Molding Method
LUBMER™ : Injection molding, extrusion molding
Advantages to Using LUBMER™
As LUBMER™ is a material with superior sliding properties to POM, PA6 and others, it exhibits equivalent or greater sliding properties than various engineering resins with grease or sliding coatings. Additionally, this makes it possible to reduce coating processes, leading to total cost reductions.
Due to the sliding properties that LUBMER™ itself possesses, it is smoother and has a unique tactile feel compared with other materials. It is also used for the tips of touch pens, switches and similar products due to writing comfort and tactile feel. Additionally, since it improves drift performance, it is also used in hobby racing car tires.

Advantages to use HI-ZEX MILLION™
UHMW-PE fiber does not absorb water and is lighter (specific gravity: 0.97) than aramid fiber, which is used as a high-strength fiber.
Also, UHMW-PE fiber made by gel spinning method have high fiber strength, which makes it easier to combine with other fibers.

Shutter rails, guide rails, various sealing materials, etc.
Molding Method
LUBMER™ : Extrusion molding
Advantages to Using LUBMER™
LUBMER™ can be extruded, so it is possible to form long materials such as rail materials and sealing materials. This makes it possible to form highly sliding and durable components without cutting UHMWPE.
