Engineered Plastic Products

Acetals are thermoplastics with the chemical name “PolyOxyMethylene” (POM). Overall, acetal provides high strength and stiffness, enhanced dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, a low coefficient of friction, good wear and abrasion properties, good chemical resistance, and is easy to machine.

The Delrin® 150 acetal homopolymer offers higher mechanical properties than the acetal copolymer, but slightly less chemical resistance. This makes it ideal for small diameter, thin walled, bushings that benefit from the additional strength and rigidity.

The Delrin® AF Blend is a 2:1 blend of Delrin® AF 100 and Delrin® 150 resins. It is manufactured from the Delrin® resins and then uniformly filled with PTFE fibers. These fibers provide better wear characteristics for Delrin® AF than the unfilled grade.

HDPE offers excellent impact resistance, is lightweight, has low moisture absorption, and has high tensile strength. It is also non-toxic, non-staining, and meets FDA and USDA certification. This makes HDPE ideal for food processing.

Nomex® 410 is made entirely from synthetic aramid polymer. It offers high dielectric strength, mechanical toughness, flexibility, and resilience. Its properties make it ideal for use in electrical equipment applications. 

Unfilled polycarbonate is a high-molecular weight amorphous engineering thermoplastic. This tough and transparent material is unmatched in clarity and ability to withstand high impact over a wide range of temperatures.

Type I PVC is a rigid PVC which is a normal impact, high corrosion resistant, material that has a smooth finish on both sides and is used where chemical attack is an important concern.

UHMW is a thermoplastic that belongs to the polyolefin group of material. Molecular density characterizes polyethylene, with UHMW being the most dense with a molecular weight of 3.1 million or higher. UHMW is simple to machine. UHMW is light weight, has no moisture absorption, has high tensile and impact strength, is shatter resistant, is long wearing, abrasion and corrosion resistant, is self-lubricating, and has excellent chemical resistance.
