TIP SEAL FOR SCROLL COMPRESSOR

Provided is a tip seal for a scroll compressor capable of reducing a frictional force between scroll members and the tip seal and contributing to energy saving of the scroll compressor while maintaining the sealing performance. A tip seal 1 in a spiral shape for sealing a compression chamber formed between a fixed scroll and a movable scroll in a scroll compressor provided with the fixed scroll and the movable scroll serving as the scroll members has a plurality of concave parts 4 formed by partially notching a sliding surface 5 on the sliding surface 5 for the scroll members, the concave parts 4 are arranged on at least one of a spiral inner peripheral surface 1b and a spiral outer peripheral surface 1a, and each of the concave parts 4 opens to the inner peripheral surface 1b or the outer peripheral surface 1a and also does not penetrate through the inner peripheral surface 1b or the outer peripheral surface 1a.
