What is acetal sheet?

Acetal or Polyoxymethylene (POM), commonly known under DuPont’s brand name Delrin®, is an engineering thermoplastic. It is a lightweight, low-friction and wear-resistant material with good physical and processing properties.

Is Delrin a ESD?

It is available in ESD-Safe delrin plastic. The tip prevents static and mechanical damage. It requires a continuous vacuum source.

What is acetal sheet Delrin?

The High-Performance Acetal Resin Delrin® acetal homopolymer (Polyoxymethylene POM) is the ideal material in parts designed to replace metal. It combines low-friction and high-wear resistance with the high strength and stiffness such applications require.

How much does acetal cost?

0.060″ X 12″ X 12″ Natural Acetal Sheet

1 – 2	$15.16
3 – 4	$14.06
5 +	$13.42

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.

Is Delrin and acetal the same?

Delrin® is an acetal homopolymer and has a uniform backbone with a larger crystalline block structure than acetal copolymers providing better chemical bonding. As a result, Delrin® is the stiffest and strongest unreinforced technical engineering polymer available.

What plastic is anti-static?

Anti-static polycarbonate, also known as electrostatic dissipative (ESD) polycarbonate, is a polycarbonate sheet coated with metal and plastic mixture that prevents static electricity from being generated on the plastic sheets.

What is antistatic property?

Anti-Static. Preventing the buildup of static electricity. Reducing static electric charges, as on textiles, waxes, polishes, etc., by retaining enough moisture to provide electrical conduction. Dissipative The charges flow to ground more slowly and in a somewhat more controlled manner than with conductive materials.

Is Delrin self lubricating?

The extensive use of DELRIN® acetal resin as a bearing material has developed because of its combination of low coefficient of friction with self-lubricating properties, good mechanical properties and dimensional stability in many chemical media.

Can Delrin be cast?

Therefore, DELRIN® acetal resins frequently can replace die-cast alloys, brass and sheet metal on both cost and performance basis.

What is the difference between POM C and POM H?

These two types of POM differ in many ways, but the key difference between POM-H and POM-C is their melting point. The melting point of POM-C is between 160-175 °C whereas, that of POM-H is between 172-184 °C. Their applications are determined based on the properties of POM-H and POM-C.

What is black acetal?

Acetal copolymer is an engineering thermoplastic based on formaldehyde polymerization technology. Acetal copolymer resin is produced by a number of companies, including Celanese and BASF, which sell these products under their trade names of Celcon and Ultraform.
