What Delrin 500?

What Delrin 500?

Delrin 500 AF It is designed for applications requiring low wear and and/or low coefficient of friction against steel, itself, and other plastics. This advanced acetal material uses a combination of PTFE fibers uniformly dispersed in Delrin acetal resin.

Is Delrin POM-C or POM H?

POM-H is commonly known as Acetal – H or by the brand name “Delrin”. Its higher crystallinity makes it stronger, harder and more rigid than POM-C but maintains nearly identical machinability. POM-H also offers good electrical insulating properties and slightly better chemical resistance than POM-C.

What is Ertacetal?

Ertacetal H (POM-H) is Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials’s homopolymer acetal grade. It offers a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance as well as a lower thermal expansion rate and often also a better wear resistance than the acetal copolymer.

Are there different types of Delrin?

General purpose grades of Delrin® are available in several basic melt flow series: 100, 500, 900, and 1700. These differ primarily in melt viscosity with 100 being the most viscous and 1700 the most fluid. Delrin® 100, 500 and 900 are known around the world for their outstanding mechanical properties.

What is the difference between Delrin and Teflon?

Delrin is a thermoplastic material, unlike Teflon. Teflon is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. Whereas, Delrin is composed of polyoxymethylene. Teflon has dielectric properties and is used in electric circuits.

What is the difference between Delrin and Acetal?

Delrin® is an acetal homopolymer and has a uniform backbone with a larger crystalline block structure than acetal copolymers providing better chemical bonding. As a result, Delrin® is the stiffest and strongest unreinforced technical engineering polymer available.

Is Delrin POM-C?

Acerin Delrin is a POM-C without additives that offers a unique balance between its physical properties that most other thermoplastics do not have. This acetal copolymer is an engineering plastic made for a wide variety of universal applications in many different sectors.

Is POM same as Delrin?

Acetal is the common name for a family of thermoplastics with the chemical name “PolyOxyMethylene”, or POM. Acetal is available in two general types of resins: Copolymer acetal (POM-C), and homopolymer acetal (POM-H); commonly called Delrin®.

What is Delrin good for?

Delrin works as an excellent replacement for metal because of its high-tensile strength, low-friction and high-wear resistance, creep and warp resistance, and overall durability and toughness. Delrin has been used for a stunning variety of parts, including guitar picks, left, and a surgical stapler, right.

Is Delrin expensive?

Although it’s more expensive than other thermoplastics such as ABS, Acetal (also commonly referred to by it’s DuPont trademark, Delrin) is a fantastic engineering plastic that performs well in environments where low friction and high strength are required.

What is stronger than Delrin?

Chemical Resistance Acetal has a better resistance to the effects of hot water and strong caustic solutions with a high pH value when compared to Delrin®. This makes Acetal a better choice for parts and materials handling applications involving the use of strong base chemicals.
