  • LUBMER?
  • LUBMER™ is a special polyethylene developed by Mitsui Chemicals using proprietary polymerization technology. It can be injection molded or extrusion molded with high sliding properties, which is a characteristic of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. In addition to standalone molding, it can also be used as an additive to improve the sliding properties and abrasion resistance of engineering plastics and rubbers.

ModifiersWhen added to engineering plastics, sliding properties are significantly enhanced

The modifying sliding property effects on nylon are superior to when PTFE is added.

Improved sliding properties compared to PTFE addition

PA6/LUBMER™ additive effects: friction coefficient
