Material Selection & Properties
We offer specialized compound formulations tailored to chemical media, thermal extremes, static deflection, and dynamic fatigue requirements. The best material depends on your operating environment and required service life.
| Material / Polymer | Key Engineering Properties | Recommended Applications & Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon 6 / 66 (Polyamide) | High tensile strength, toughness, good sliding properties | Gears, wear pads, wire rope pulleys, bushings |
| POM (Acetal / Delrin) | High dimensional stability, zero moisture absorption | Precision gears, valve seats, fuel sender parts |
| UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular) | Extremely low coefficient of friction (0.10), zero wear | Conveyor wear strips, chute liners, chain guides |
| HDPE / Polypropylene | Chemical resistance to acids & alkalis, food contact | Chemical tank flanges, pipe fittings, plating barrels |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Optically clear, high impact strength (unbreakable) | Machine safety guards, instrument sight glasses |
Important Engineering Guidance
The above properties are general characteristics. Final material selection depends on your specific application, operating conditions, load requirements, media compatibility, and service temperature. Please contact our polymer engineering team for tailored compounding guidance on Plastic Housings.
