DUPONT DELRIN 100KM POM Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by the ISO 1183 standard, it is 1.41 g/cc (0.0509 lb/in³), playing a role in determining material usage and product weight.
• Melt Density: At 215 °C, it is 1.18 g/cc (0.0426 lb/in³), which is significant for melt – processing operations.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: In the flow direction, it is 0.018 cm/cm; transversely, it is 0.015 cm/cm as per ISO 294 – 4 and 2577, important for mold design accuracy.
• Melt Flow: Measured by the ISO 1133 standard, under a load of 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) at 190 °C (374 °F), the melt flow rate is 1.7 g/10 min in cm³/10min volumetric measurement and another value under the same conditions is 2.0 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Polyoxymethylene (POM)
• Key Features
  
  • Modified with Kevlar® for enhanced strength and wear resistance.
  • High viscosity for good shape stability during processing.
  • Low wear and friction reduce energy loss and extend component life.

Applications:

The combination of high toughness, excellent mechanical properties, and resistance to creep makes Delrin 100KM a top choice for demanding, long-life applications.

• Automotive Components: Ideal for under-the-hood parts, fuel system components, and automotive trim that must withstand high stress and environmental exposure.
• Industrial Components: Used for precision gears, bearing housings, conveyor chain links, and pump parts where low friction, wear resistance, and high strength are critical.
• Consumer Goods: Suitable for durable, moving parts in appliances, toys, and other consumer products that see frequent use.
• Extruded Products: Excellent for producing high-strength profiles, rods, and sheets used in a wide range of industrial and structural applications.

Processing Guidelines

Delrin 100KM is optimized for both injection molding and extrusion. Proper drying is crucial to ensure optimal processing and part quality.

• Drying: While not always required, pre-drying at 80°C for 2-4 hours is recommended, especially for long-term storage or high humidity conditions.
• Melt Temperature: 190-210°C
• Mold Temperature: 80-100°C
