How strong is Delrin?

Delrin Plastic is Ideal for Industrial Applications

What is Delrin 100P?

Delrin® 100P is a high viscosity acetal homopolymer for use in easy-to-fill molds. Delrin® 100P provides a great combination of toughness and strength and improved processing thermal stability and productivity for injection molding.

Does Delrin break easily?

As a machined item, Delrin is particularly easy to work with. With PTFE, we need to consider the softness of the material and also its sensitivity to temperatures, with nylons and UHMWPE, we need to be careful of the part melting during machining, with PEEK, the tool itself can break, if we do not control the RPM.

Is Delrin stronger than ABS?

Delrin (DuPont’s brand of acetal) and ABS are both plastics. Delrin is referred to as an “engineering” plastic because it is stronger and more resistant to distortion under load. ABS is “commodity” plastic because it is cheaper and easier to mold, however because of it’s flexibility, is relatively hard to break.

Is Delrin stronger than aluminum?

Is Delrin Stronger Than Aluminum? In purely technical terms, aluminum is far stronger than Delrin, but depending on the application, Delrin parts can substitute certain aluminum parts.

Which is harder nylon or Delrin?

Despite these similarities, nylon is generally stronger than Delrin. Extruded nylon has a tensile strength of 12,400 PSI and cast nylon has a tensile strength of between 10,000 and 13,500 PSI. In contrast, Delrin has a tensile strength of 10,000 PSI.

Are there different grades 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.

Is Delrin brittle or ductile?

Is Delrin Brittle? Because Delrin doesn’t use plasticizing for its toughness, it doesn’t become brittle at low temperatures.

What is the density of Delrin?

1.41 g/cm³Polyoxymethylene / Density
