Delrin (30% Glass Filled) is a reinforced acetal resin developed to meet the demands of high-stress, load-bearing, and structural applications. The addition of 30% glass fibers significantly enhances tensile strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, allowing the material to outperform standard Delrin in demanding industrial settings. It maintains excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, making it suitable for components that are exposed to continuous stress, elevated temperatures, and long-term operational use. The reinforcement also reduces thermal expansion, ensuring precision and consistency even in environments with temperature fluctuations.
Introduction to Delrin (30% Glass Filled)
What
This grade of Delrin integrates 30% glass fiber reinforcement, which fundamentally changes its mechanical properties. Compared to unfilled Delrin, it provides much higher rigidity, structural strength, and dimensional stability. These improvements make it a preferred choice for applications where lightweight metals might otherwise be required, especially when corrosion resistance and machinability are also important. Though more abrasive to machining tools due to the glass fibers, it remains a reliable and efficient material for high-performance engineering parts.
Advantages
Significantly higher strength and rigidity Superior dimensional stability under stress and temperature changes Good fatigue and creep resistance Suitable for load-bearing structural parts
Applications
Automotive housings and gears Aerospace fixtures Industrial machinery components Structural and load-bearing parts
