UHMWPE Powder Applications

MIPELON™ is a fine particle ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, with a molecular weight of two million microns or more.

Modifier for Resins and Rubbers
The addition of MIPELON™ UHMWPE Powder to polyacetal, nylon, or phenol resin enhances the material's self-lubrication properties. Not only does the addition of the material improve self-lubrication of rubber, but it also increases chemical resistance.

Self-lubricating Materials
MIPELON UHMWPE Powder particles are extremely small relative to conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylenes; so large amounts of fillers such as carbon, graphite, or molybdenum disulfide are readily dispersed, resulting in exceptional self-lubricating properties.

Filters
Sintered MIPELON makes an excellent porous filter material due its minuscule particle size.

Others
The addition of MIPELON Fine Particle Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene Powder to greases, lubricants, printing ink, coating materials, and pigments results in a matte finish and improved self-lubrication.
