RESIN COMPOSITION FOR SLIDING MEMBER AND RESIN-MADE SLIDING MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an injection-moldable resin composition for a sliding member applicable under a wide range of conditions that exhibits enhanced frictional properties as well as abrasion properties against both a steel material and a soft metal material and suppresses damages on the soft metal to the minimum in a condition region where conventional resin-made sliding members cannot be applied in an environment where a lubricating fluid intervenes, while maintaining heat resistance, dimensional stability and mechanical properties of conventional resin-made sliding members, and the resin-made sliding member. SOLUTION: The resin composition comprises: an injection-moldable novolak-type phenolic resin or phenol aralkyl resin as a matrix; and 5-25 vol.% of a carbon fiber, 10-25 vol.% of scaly graphite, and 3-10 vol.% of glass balloons which are incorporated as essential fillers.
