Material Description
Acetal and Delrin represent a crystalline thermoplastic polymer that possesses many qualities that make them a leading choice for machined plastic parts. Acetal's proper- ties include low water absorption, superior creep resistance, high tensile strength, and high melt point. The low water absorption, coupled with the high tensile strength and modulus, relate to an ability to maintain excellent dimensional stability in close toler- ance fabricated parts. The chemical resistance of acetal includes resistance to hydro- carbons, solvents and neutral chemicals. In addition, most of the materials properties are maintained in operating temperatures up to 180F. The combination of the physical properties and ease of fabrication makes acetal an excellent choice for machined me- chanical parts.

Characteristics
Fills
PTFE (Teflon) (Delrin AF):The Teflon fill is used in applications where a lower fac- tional coefficient along with improved wear properties is needed.
20% Glass Filled: The addition of glass fibers increases the strength of the material and adds dimensional stability.
Applications
Bushings Gears, Seals, Wheels, Bearings, Cams, Rollers, Washers, Wear Components
