White Delrin 500, a high-rigidity, glass-fiber-reinforced acetal copolymer, is an advanced engineering material widely used in precision applications. At SIPEL Electronic SA, we utilize this material in our Quick Change Tweezers and replaceable tips, ensuring exceptional mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance.
Key Properties & Performance
White Delrin 500 combines the mechanical strength of thermoplastics with the precision and durability required for industrial applications.
- Reinforced Structure: Composed of 30% glass fiber, this material offers high rigidity and superior resistance to deformation under load.
- High Tensile Strength: Capable of withstanding forces up to 83 MPa at +23°C, ensuring durability in precision handling.
- Excellent Flexural Modulus: Ranging from 8000 MPa at +23°C to 3800 MPa at +120°C, maintaining structural integrity under varying thermal conditions.
- Temperature Resistance: Melting point of 180°C – 210°C, making it suitable for applications exposed to heat fluctuations.
- Impact Strength: Maintains high impact resistance, even at low temperatures (18 kJ/m² at -40°C), ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Low Friction & Wear Resistance: Ideal for delicate operations, minimizing wear on components and reducing contamination risks.
Why Choose White Delrin 500 for Precision Tweezers?
White Delrin 500 is specifically selected for applications where traditional metal tweezers might cause scratching, contamination, or unwanted conductivity. It is particularly suited for:
- Electronics & ESD-Sensitive Environments: As a non-conductive material, it prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD), making it ideal for semiconductor handling and PCB assembly.
- Medical & Laboratory Use: The material’s chemical resistance and precision grip make it safe for handling delicate biological samples, optical lenses, and prosthetic components.
- Watchmaking & Fine Jewelry: High rigidity ensures secure manipulation of ultra-small components, reducing the risk of bending or damage during assembly.
