    ACETAL

    Acetal is the common name for a family of thermoplastics with the chemical name "PolyOxy-Methylene". Acetal is available in a general purpose
    copolymer grade, a homopolymer version (Delrin ®), and several filled grades. Acetal provides high strength and stiffness, enhanced dimensional
    stability, and is easy to machine. As a semi-crystalline material, acetal is characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good wear, high strength,
    stiffness, dimensional stability, very low moisture absorption, good wear and abrasion resistance and a wide range chemical resistance.

    ACETAL GRADES
    ACETAL COPOLYMER (unfilled)
    The copolymer grade offers excellent performance at a slightly lower cost than Delrin ®. Acetal copolymer may exhibit center line porosity, but porosity-
    free material is available. Certain grades are FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3-A Dairy compliant. Low stress levels and high strength assure
    flatness and dimensional stability up to a maximum continuous service temperature of 180°F (80°C). Acetal copolymers are available in a wide variety
    of colors, including RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, VIOLET, BLACK, WHITE & NATURAL.

    DELRIN ® (unfilled)
    Delrin ® acetal homopolymer offers slightly higher mechanical properties than acetal copolymer, but may contain a low density center (also known as
    "center line porosity") especially in large cross-sections. The homopolymer also gives slightly less chemical resistance than copolymer acetal. For
    example, Delrin ® is ideal for small diameter, thin-walled bushings that benefit from the additional strength and rigidity of homopolymer acetal. Delrin ® is
    available BLACK & NATURAL colors.
    ® ®
    NOTE: In 2002, DuPont Company discontinued production of Delrin II 550SA resin ... this has been replaced by Delrin 511P.

    DELRIN ® AF (PTFE-filled)
    This material is manufactured from Delrin ® homopolymer resin which has been uniformly filled with a dispersion of PTFE fibers. Delrin ® AF is a unique thermoplastic
    material for use in moving parts in which low friction and long wear life are important. It retains 90% of the mechanical strength of unfilled acetal homopolymer, while
    ®
    offering very low friction and almost no "slip-stick" behavior. Delrin AF is BROWN in color.
