DUPONT DELRIN 1700P POM Resin
DUPONT Delrin 1700P is a low-viscosity, high-flow polyoxymethylene (POM) homopolymer from DuPont, designed for precision injection molding of intricate and thin-walled parts.
Physical Properties
- Density: Measured by the ASTM D792 standard, the 1.42 g/cm³ density provides a basic property for calculating material volume – mass relationships.
- Water Absorption: Absorbing 0.28 % at 50RH equilibrium, 0.4 % after 24 hours, and 1.4 % at saturation (ASTM D570), it affects product performance in different humidity levels.
- Melt Index: At 190°C under a 1.05 kg load, the melt index of 17 g/10min (ASTM D1238) reflects the material’s flowability during melting.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polyoxymethylene (POM)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- High-flow formula fills complex multi-cavity molds effortlessly.
- Balanced strength maintains durability despite high flow.
- Low friction & wear (self-lubricating) for moving parts.
- “P” grade reduces formaldehyde emissions for safer processing.
Applications:
The combination of very high flow, good mechanical properties, and reduced formaldehyde emissions makes DUPONT DELRIN 1700P a top choice for a variety of intricate and high-precision applications.
- Automotive Components: Ideal for small, complex parts like gears in power windows, dashboard controls, and fuel caps that require high precision and durability.
- Consumer Electronics: Suitable for parts in mobile device enclosures, laptop housings, and printer housings where high-precision, thin-walled components are needed.
- Precision Engineering: Used for tiny, intricate parts in toys, lock components, and precision gears where a clean fill and minimal cycle time are essential.
- Electrical and Electronic Parts: Employed in small electrical connectors and switch housings where intricate geometry and durability are required.
