MoS2 PLASTIC

To avoid friction caused by contact between metals, one of the materials can be made non-metallic, such as plastic. This reduces not only friction but also heat, vibration, and noise, and prevents the worst case of seizure. However, when using regular plastic, the strength is significantly lower than metal. So, plastic with increased strength is used. It is known that adding MoS2 to iron increases its strength, and similarly, adding MoS2 to plastic increases its strength compared to regular plastic. In addition, MoS2 plastic can be used for a variety of parts because it is easy to mold and cut.

 

Examples of MoS2 PLASTIC PRODUCTS

Railway passenger car door rollers and guide rails

In Japan, MoS2 plastic door rollers are often used to open and close the boarding and alighting doors of rail passenger cars.
Although iron door rollers are strong, if iron is used for both the rail and the door roller, both will wear out and it may be necessary to replace both.
However, if MoS2 plastic is used for the door rollers, it is only necessary to replace the door rollers periodically.
In addition, when MoS2 plastic is used, there is no need to use separate lubricants such as oil or grease.
MoS2 plastic is also used for guide rails.

Wheels for multi-story car parks

In Japan, multi-story car parks are often built alongside high-rise apartment buildings, and MoS2 plastic wheels are these multi-story car parks.
Although steel wheels have excellent strength, using metal for both the rails and the wheels can cause both to wear out, and there are cases where both must be replaced.
In addition, using MoS2 plastic wheels can reduce the noise generated during movement.
These wheels can also be used in automated warehouses,etc.
