LUBMER™ L4000

LUBMER™ L4000 by Mitsui Chemicals is a noiseless ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) grade free of halogen and PFOA. Exhibits low friction and good resistance to wear and chemicals including alcohols, alkalis, oils, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric and phosphoric acid. It is a self-lubricating and food contact acceptable grade with low water absorption. It effectively improves sliding property in low dosage, better than PTFE or molybdenum disulfide. It also improves abrasion resistance for higher durability and robust material. Designed for processing by injection molding, extrusion or insert mold for grease-less, light weight gears and bearings. Provides good moldability, good dimensional stability and electrical insulating properties, high mechanical properties and innovative processability. Applicable materials for modified LUBMER™ include PA6, PA66, Aromatic PA, POM, PBT, PET, PC, ABS and PPS. It contributes to increased production efficiency and total cost reduction in a co-extrusion process. LUBMER™ L4000 can be used for the replacement for PTFE or as a tribology modifier of engineering plastics. Complies with UL 94 HB Flame Rating.
