Daicel's DURAST(R) POM Fine Powder Used in Maia's Stick-Form Lubricant
Daicel Corporation's High Performance Polymers unit has developed DURAST(R) POM fine powder, now adopted in Maia Co. Ltd.'s innovative stick-form lubricant using Sol-Mid(TM) technology. This solid lubricant, combining ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with grease and DURAST(R) POM as an interlayer, addresses issues like dripping and waste, enhancing maintenance for office equipment and industrial machinery. The stick format reduces oil use by about 80% and prevents leakage, offering convenience and efficiency. Daicel's proprietary process enables uniform fine powder production previously difficult with conventional methods.
