Summary

LUBMER™ is a specialty polyethylene developed by Mitsui Chemicals’ original polymerization technology. LUBMER™ has outstanding sliding properties, abrasion resistance and moldability. Especially, LUBMER™ is used for a wide range of applications for soundproofing parts of office automation equipment, automotive, electrical and electronic parts. In addition, LUBMER™ is making a significant contribution to the development of building materials, mechanical parts, etc.

Properties

Sliding properties

LUBMER^™ shows about the same coefficient of friction comparable to that of fluoroplastics.

Self-lubrication / Abrasion resistance

By far better than ordinary polyethylene, polyacetal and nylon.

Chemical resistance

LUBMER^™ has stability to various chemicals.

Food Safety

Some of the LUBMER^™ grades meet food hygiene requirements.

Noiseless properties

LUBMER^™ is used for soundproofing gears and rollers.

Insulation properties

LUBMER^™ has excellent electrical insulating properties comparable to those of other polyolefins.

Applications

Facsimile equipment parts, bearings, toner scraper holders, word processor key plungers, assist traps, seat belt through anchors, glass-run channel, rollers for automotive massagers, aqueduct parts and bearings for video camera.
