Delrin® 150E -as manufactured by Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is a standard all-purpose grade of homopolymer acetal rod. Delrin® 150E is an easy machining plastic with good strength, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and low moisture absorption. Delrin® products in general offer slightly higher mechanical properties then "copolymer" acetal products such as Acetron® GP, but may contain a lower density center, especially in large cross sections. Delrin® 150E is FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant.

Other attributes of Delrin® 150E acetal products include:

• Low moisture absorption
• High strength, stiffness
• Easy to machine
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Ideal for small diameter, thin-walled bushings

Engineering specifications for Delrin® 150E Rod are:

• Tensile Strength – 9,500 psi
• Compressive Strength – 15,000 psi
• Water Absorption (saturation) – 0.9%
• Continuous Service Temperature - 180° deg. F
• Resistant to Hydrocarbons, Ketones, Ethers, Chlorinated solvents (limited service) & Alcohols
• Flammability rating UL94:HB

Engineering Notes:

In general, acetals do not perform as well in abrasive wear applications as nylons. Compensation for moisture related growth generally allows Nylatron® nylons to be used for wet, abrasive applications. If your application requires dimensional consistency in an abrasive, high humidity or submerged environment, Ertalyte® PET-P will often offer improved performance.
