TAGS: Metal Replacement Part Design & Manufacturing Cost Efficiency
Delrin® introduced a high molecular weight nucleated resin specially formulated for use in applications requiring high creep resistance and fatigue durability.
Delrin® 51HSE further extends the ability of Delrin® to replace metal, helping customers save cost and weight while reducing noise. It also enables smart design concepts that are beneficial for achieving lower carbon footprints.
Cost-effective Alternative Over Switching from Metal Gears
The new Delrin
® resin draws on a deep heritage of formulations that have set the standard for high-performance plastic gears. While Delrin
® 100, for example, has been known as the designers’ first choice for highly demanding applications, Delrin
® 51HSE resin furthers those strengths and offers a step-change in fatigue and creep performance.
Testing shows the improvement in static gear strength of Delrin
® 51HSE is about 10%, but the real benefit comes from a two-fold improvement in durability, giving customers a cost-effective alternative over switching from metal gears or other more expensive solutions.
“
Driving innovation remains an intrinsic element of our DNA,” said Sriram Nadathur, Delrin
® vice president and general manager. “
Our customers demand materials that demonstrate unparalleled mechanical performance, exceptional durability, and low global warming potential, without compromising on design flexibility or ease of manufacturing. Innovations such as Delrin® 51HSE are the reason why our customers know they can depend on us to deliver world-class resins that fit their most demanding end-use applications.”
