Both Copolymer (Acetal) and Homopolymer (Delrin) grades are similar in there overall balance of properties although each shows some difference from the other in detail. In general, the mechanical properties of the Homopolymer (Delrin) are slightly superior to the Copolymer (Acetal) although the latter has a higher continuous operating temperature.
CHARACTERISTICS
- High crystaline with low water absorption
- Better dimensional stability and creep resistance than nylons
- Easy to machine to tight tolerances
- Good electrical insulator.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Pump Housings
- Impellars
- Gears
- Electrical Components
- Valves/Valve Seats
