Acetal Homopolymer (Delrin®) Rod

Acetal homopolymer (also known as Delrin®) rod is a strong rigid plastic with a higher mechanical strength, hardness and creep resistance than acetal copolymer. It also has a high resistance to wear. It is easy to machine with very good electrical insulation properties and is resistant to dilute acids, cleaning agents and some solvents. Acetal homopolymer has a lower thermal expansion rate than acetal copolymer.

Applications

Friction bearings, gears, housing parts, rollers, insulators and snap fit connectors.

Key Features

• Temperature: Up to +110°C (+150°C short term).
• Offers enhanced mechanical strength, hardness and resistance to creep than acetal copolymer.
• Improved temperature resistance compared to acetal copolymer.
• Excellent electrical insulation properties.
• Good machinability.
• Excellent resistance to wear.
