MIPELON™ Fine Particle Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Powder (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.

Rubber Compounding
By compounding rubber with MIPELON, the improvement of friction, abrasion resistance and processability can be achieved.

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.

CHEMIPEARL™ Polyolefin-based Aqueous Dispersion

Aqueous dispersion of polyolefin fine particles with no emulsifying agents or organic solvents, used as printing ink additives, heat sealing for food packaging, adhesives and binders, and anti-blocking agents.

EXCEREX™ Olefin Oligomer

A narrow molecular weight distribution olefin oligomer used as a polymer processing aid, reduces torque in the extruder and allows for an increase in screw speed while operating at a lower barrel temperature.
