Provided are a resin composition for a sliding member and a sliding member, which have excellent molding workability and mechanical workability and with which it is possible to improve sliding properties including lubricating properties and wear resistance. The resin composition for a sliding member of the present invention contains, in addition to a polyacetal resin, 2% to 20% by mass of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene resin, 0.01% to 3% by mass of a modified polyolefin resin, and 0.5% to 3% by mass of a lubricant as additives.

Resin composition for sliding member, and sliding member

A slide bearing () is provided with an upper case () attached to an upper support for attaching a strut assembly to a vehicle body, a lower case () which is rotatably combined with the upper case () and which forms an annular space (), and an annular center plate () and sliding sheet () disposed in the annular space (). The upper case () has a load-transmitting surface () constituting part of an upper surface of the annular space (), the center plate () is provided with an annular recess () filled with a lubricant, and the center plate () has a bearing surface () for supporting loads exerted on the load-transmitting surface (). The sliding sheet (), which is disposed between the load-transmitting surface () and the bearing surface (), has a sliding surface () that slides against the bearing surface (). The sliding sheet () is formed of a thermoplastic plastic, and the center plate () is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer having a lower modulus of elasticity than the thermoplastic plastic.
