DUPONT DELRIN 900P POM Resin
DUPONT Delrin 900P is a POM by DuPont with improved processing and low viscosity for various products.
Physical Properties
- Density: Measured following the ISO 1183 standard, the 1.42 g/cc (0.0513 lb/in³) density is fundamental for calculating material volume – mass relationships.
- Water Absorption: Absorbing 1.4 % at 2.00 mm thickness (Sim. to ISO 62), it may lead to dimensional instability in products during use.
- Moisture Absorption: At 2.00 mm thickness, the 0.400 % moisture absorption affects the electrical and mechanical properties of the material.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage: With values of 0.019 cm/cm in both the flow and transverse directions according to ISO 294 – 4 and 2577, it is important for accurate mold design.
- Melt Flow: Measured by ISO 1133 at 190 °C under a 2.16 kg load, the melt flow rates are 21 g/10 min (in cm³/10 min) and 25 g/10 min indicates high flowability during molding.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polyoxymethylene (POM)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- “P” (Plastified) grade reduces formaldehyde off-gassing, enhancing workplace safety and minimizing ventilation needs.
- Ultra-low viscosity enables easy molding of complex multi-cavity parts, boosting production efficiency via faster cycle times.
- Maintains high tensile/flexural strength despite high flow, ensuring rigid, durable components.
- Natural low COF and wear resistance (like Delrin®) suit self-lubricating moving parts.
- Low moisture absorption preserves precise dimensions across varying environments.
Applications:
The combination of very high flow, good mechanical properties, and reduced formaldehyde emissions makes Delrin 900P 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.
