Safety Helmet Buckles

Any product with a clipping action such as the helmet safety buckle mechanism is a highly suitable application for Delrin® acetal. Moulded from Delrin®, the clip will give the most positive and secure fitment than any other unfilled polymer on the market due to its extra rigidity. Applications like this are safety critical so failure is not an option; it is this application where Delrin® is best-in-class and first choice for designers and engineers.

Compared to acetal copolymer, Delrin® acetal homopolymer offers higher tensile strength, stiffness, creep and fatigue resistance, and significantly higher impact resistance. The extra mechanical properties of Delrin® allow for parts to be made thinner and smaller, whilst delivering the same performance of a thicker, less compact copolymer acetal moulding.
