Zips

You will find Delrin® homopolymer acetal in plastic zippers as the teeth are very small in detail. The extra rigidity that is provided by Delrin® makes it the ideal material for this application.

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.

Spotlight on Delrin®:

  • High rigidity / modulus
  • Low wear and friction
  • High flow
  • Injection mouldable
