Technical Information

Polyacetal
These are polyacetal grades manufactured by Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products. Copolymer grades tend to be more resistant against hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degredation than the homopolymer grades. The homopolymer grades (also refered to as Delrin) have a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance as well as a lower thermal expansion rate and often it also presents a better wear resistance.

 

Main Characteristics

High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness

Excellent resilience

Good creep resistance

High impact strength, even at low temperatures

Very good dimensional stability (low water absorption)

Good sliding properties and wear resistance

Excellent machinability

Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties

Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)

Not self-extinguishing
