What is the difference between Delrin and Delrin AF?
What is the difference between Delrin and Delrin AF?
Delrin® AF Blend retains approximately 90% of the mechanical strength and rigidity of Delrin®, but with improved bearing and sliding properties, and almost no ‘slip-stick’ characteristics. Other formulations available are Delrin® 100AF containing 20% Teflon fibers and provides even lower frictional properties.
What is Delrin AF?
Delrin® AF Blend is a unique thermoplastic material for use in moving parts in which low friction and long wear life are important. It is a combination of PTFE fibers uniformly dispersed in Delrin® acetal resin. This combination offers better wear characteristics than unfilled Delrin®.
What color is Delrin AF?
dark brown
Delrin 13% AF Blend Acetal AF blend retains 90% of the strength that is inherent in unmodified Acetal. Some properties are changed due to the addition of the softer PTFE fiber. The natural color of Acetal AF blend is dark brown.
