Material Information:

Acetal and Delrin represent a crystalline thermoplastic polymer that possesses manyqualities that make them a leading choice for machined plastic parts. Acetal’s proper-ties include low water absorption, superior creep resistance, high tensile strength, andhigh melt point. The low water absorption, coupled with the high tensile strength andmodulus, relate to an ability to maintain excellent dimensional stability in close toler-ance fabricated parts. The chemical resistance of acetal includes resistance to hydro-carbons, solvents and neutral chemicals. In addition, most of the materials propertiesare maintained in operating temperatures up to 180° F. The combination of the physicalproperties and ease of fabrication makes acetal an excellent choice for machined me-chanical parts.

ACRYLIC


Acrylic is one of the most economical and easily fabricated plastics for aesthetic appli-cations. Acrylic is available in a variety of translucent and opaque colors. The lightweight (less than 50% as heavy as glass) and high impact resistance (6-17 times theimpact resistance of glass) make it the material of choice for displays, glazing and otherpopular glass applications. Acrylic is also noted for its ease of fabrication. Acrylic canbe machined, routed, drilled and cut as easily as wood. When heated, acrylic can bebent into almost any shape. Upon cooling the material retains the shape with surprisingstability.

Nylon’s high impactresistance, high resistance to brittleness and deterioration, high heat distortion tempera-ture, vibration resistance and machinability make it the perfect material for many applica-tions. Nylon exhibits excellent resistance to a wide array of chemicals including, alkalies,dilute acids, and oxidizing agents which cause many metalics to fail. The relatively lightweight of nylon eases handling of large parts as well as lessens both inertial and staticloads. Nylon is available in a variety of fills and basic shapes to meet just about every need.

More Information on Nylon:

Nylons were the first of the thermoplastic engineering resins. These crystalline plasticsare available in many compositions. Nylon 6/6 (usually extruded) is the most widelyused of the nylon plastics. Higher priced grades for more specific or demanding applica-tions include 6/10 and 6/12.

Nylon 6 (usually cast) is the second most widely used of the nylons. Its properties aresimilar to those of 6/6, but it absorbs moisture more rapidly and its melting point isaround 70F lower.

Nylon 11 and 12 have better dimensional stability and electrical properties than theother nylons because they absorb less moisture. These types, which are more expen-sive than the others, are available compounded with plasticizers to provide greaterflexibility and ductility.

Newest additions to the Nylon family of products are transparent molding grades –amorphous polyamides that offer superior performance in hot water, compared withother nylons. A recent development in nylon toughening technology has resulted in theavailability of super tough resins, such as Dupont’s Zytel ST. These materials are 17times the notched impact resistance of conventional 6/6 nylon.

In part because it has been around the longest, but also because of the many variationsof resins and additives used in nylon, it is one of the most widely used of the mechanicalplastics and can be specially formulated to a wide variety of applications.

Material Information:Phenolics are a laminated plastic created by the impregnation of layers of a substrate with a resinthen formed utilizing heat and pressure. The resins are generally Phenolic, silicone, melamine orepoxies while the substrate materials range from paper and cotton to glass. The resulting material isextremely versatile and used in a variety of applications. The notable properties of laminatesinclude impressive resistance to shock, heat, stress, and corrosive chemicals. Phenolics are able tobe machined, drilled, punched, sanded, tapped, turned, milled, sheared and cut. The dielectricproperties make this an excellent insulator which is used in applications from electrical transformersto circuit boards.Unlike other groups of plastic materials, thermoset plastic industrial laminates have their ownstandards which are published by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association). In con-cert with member manufacturers, NEMA standards are set and “minimum values” published.

The most commonly used NEMA thermoset laminate grades are as follows: C, CE (Canvas Cotton-Cloth Reinforced Phenolic) Medium weave cloth G-10 / FR-4 (Glass-Cloth Reinforced Epoxy) . G-11 / FR-5 (like G-10 but higher temp) G-5 / G-9 (Glass-Cloth Reinforced Melamine) . G-7 (Glass Cloth Reinforced Silicone) GPO-1, GPO-2, GPO-3 (Glass-Mat Reinforced Polyester) . L, LE (Linen Cotton-Cloth Reinforced Phenolic) Fine weave cloth X, XX, XXX (Paper Reinforced Phenolic / the number of X’s the better the electrical properties.)

Characteristics / Enhancements / Varieties - Available Grades:Paper Phenolic: Paper is commonly used in applications where low cost is important. Though the material retainsexcellent electrical properties there is a noticeable loss in mechanical properties as compared to other grades. (x, xx, xxx,xxpc, etc.)Cotton Phenolic: Cotton is used in applications where mechanical strength and machinability is important. Cottonphenolics are readily available in the two most popular grades CE, a course weave fabric, and LE a fine weave fabricgives nice machined finish. (C, CE, L, LE, etc.)Glass Epoxys: Glass Epoxy is noted for its extremely low moisture absorption, high heat resistance, along with excellentmechanical and electrical properties. Most common grades include G-10 and G-11.Other available grades: Glass with Silicone, Glass with Melamine, Nylon, Phenolic

POLYCARBONATEAlso Known As (common industry trade names):Cyrolon . Excelon PC . Hyzod . Hyzod Tl Lexan . Macrolux . Makrolon . Polycarb . Polygal .Polygal (Twin-Wall) . Tuffak . Tuffak A . Tuffak CM-II . Tuffak XL . ZeluxDescription:Polycarbonate offers all of the clarity and beauty of acrylic with an impact resistance that isunparalleled in glazing materials. Polycarbonate is used in applications such as machineguards and security windows that require the optical clarity and the assurance of safety.Polycarbonate is relatively light weight and is fairly rigid. Polycarbonate is easily sawed,machined, heat formed, cold formed, cemented and painted. Polycarbonates are high-molecular weight, amorphous engineering thermoplastics that have exceptionally high-im-pact strength over a wide temperature range. Polycarbonate resins are produced in the U.S.principally by General Electric Co (Lexan) and by Bayer Corp (Makrolon). The Dow ChemicalCo has recently become the third producer of polycarbonate resins (Calibre). The resins areavailable in general-purpose and specialty grades that provide specific properties or process-ing characteristics. These include flame–retardant formulations, grades that meet FDAregulations for parts used in food-contact and medical applications, and glass-reinforcedgrades for applications requiring maximum strength and stiffness. The natural resin iswater-clear and transparent. Polycarbonates are generally unaffected by greases and oils.However, they are attacked by most aromatic solvents, esters and keytones which causecrazing and cracking in stressed parts. Grades with improved chemical resistance are avail-able and special coatings can be applied to provide additional chemical protection.

Polyethylene, the largest volume thermoplastic polymer used today, is avail-able in a wide variety of grades and formulations that have an equally wide range ofproperties. Some polyethylenes are flexible, others are rigid; some have poor impactstrength, others are virtually unbreakable; some have good clarity; others are opaque.Service temperatures can range from -40 to +200F. In general, however, polyethyl-enes are characterized by toughness, excellent chemical resistance and electricalproperties, low coefficient of friction, near-zero moisture absorption, light weight(approximately one-eighth that of steel) and ease of processing.Polyethylenes are classified into three main categories, according to density: Low,Medium and High. A fourth type, ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMW-PE), is beyond the high-density range. In some cases, properties of this high-perfor-mance plastic are similar to other polyethyenes, but in others cases can be dramati-cally different. Also available is crosslinked polyethylene, a special grade which, bychemical or irradiation treatment, becomes essentially a thermoset material withoutstanding heat resistance and strength.


Classification of Polyethylenes:Polyethylene is classified into several different categories based mostly on its density andbranching. The mechanical properties of PE depend significantly on variables such as theextent and type of branching, the crystal structure, and the molecular weight.UHMWPE(ultra high molecular weight PE) HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene)HDPE (high density PE) HDXLPE (high density cross-linked PE)PEX (cross-linked PE) MDPE (medium density PE) LDPE (low density PE)LLDPE (linear low density PE) VLDPE (very low density PE)


HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE)HDPE is well suited for applications where a greater tensile and compression strengthis needed. HDPE possesses excellent impact strength and corrosion resistance. Itmeets FDA requirements for direct food contact and can be sterilized easily in boilingwater.

POLYPROPYLENEAlso Known As (common industry trade names):Cor-X . Corogard . Coroplast . Coroplast CI . Coroplast SI . Copolymer PolypropyleneEnsipro . Homopolymer Polypropylene . Intepro IR . Resinol Type O . Polystone . Polystone PPropylux . Propylux . PPro . Ultrapro

Material Description:Polypropylene has long been recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellentchemical resistance, as well as high performance in corrosive environments. This materialis easily thermoformed and welded making it a popular choice for chemical and platingtanks. Polypropylene homopolymer meets FDA 21CFR 177.1520 requirements and isapproved by the FDA for use in poultry and meat packing facilities. The copolymer offers agreater impact strength along with stronger low temperature impact resistance. Bothhomopolymer and copolymer maintain high degrees of flexural strength and low moistureabsorption. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic made by the polymerization of propylenegas, a by-product of petroleum refining. Various techniques can vary the physical, chemi-cal or mechanical properties of polypropylene. Polypropylene is easily fabricated withordinary wood or metalworking equipment. It can be welded with standard plastic weld-ing equipment. Polypropylene has such a hard, high gloss surface it is ideally suited toenvironments where there is concern for bacteria buildup or buildup that can interferewith flow. Excellent track, arc resistance and dielectric strength allows polypropylene tobe used extensively in electrical applications. It can also be modified to be conductive orantistatic. As a homopolymer, polypropylenes use temperature ranges from 30 to 210F,depending on specific chemistry. For copolymers use temperatures can range from -20 to180F. Resistance to chemicals and solvents is very good. It has good resistance toaqueous, salts, acids or alkaline solutions. It also has very low permeability to watervapor and gases. Because of its excellent resistance to solvents, it finds extensive use inthe semiconductor industry. It performs well in the presence of DI water. Polypropylenecan be used in direct contact with foods, and many icecube trays are made from it be-cause of its toughness and flexibility at low temperatures.

Care must be taken when in the presence of active oxidizing agents, especially withfabricated parts. Numerous chemical resistance charts are based solely on pressmolded plaques and do not take fabricated parts into consideration. The resins areattacked, however, by halogens, fuming nitric acid and other active oxidizing agents,and by aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons at high temperatures.

Polyurethanes are versatile engineering materials designed to provide properties notavailable in conventional rubbers, metals and plastics. Typically they have higher oil andsolvent resistance, along with greater abrasion and tear resistance. Impact strength,low compression set and superior load bearing capacity are also important engineeringcharacteristics.Urethane is available in several different forms such as thermoplastic, thermoset, coat-ings and foams (flexible, semirigid, rigid and integral skin). A variety of processes areused to produce parts, including injection molding, extrusion, RIM, spray and casting.Most can be supplied in polyether or polyester base formulations. The ethers are gener-ally better for use in contact with water and have higher heat resistance. The estershave higher abrasion and oil resistance.Thermoset and some foam types are supplied in standard shapes (sheet, rod, bar andtube) as well as custom molded parts. Advantages of the cast types are low costtooling and short production runs. Injection and extrusion will generally result in lowerpiece prices, but tooling can be quite expensive.

PVC is the most economical solution when chemical resistance along with full rangeof physical properties is needed. PVC is easily machined, thermoformed, welded, andsolvent cemented. PVC is weather resistant, maintains a high impact strength and hasgood electrical properties. PVC is available either flexible or rigid. CPVC is a highertemperature material that can see service temperatures to 190 degrees F. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) or “vinyl” is usually an amorphous thermoplastic material with excel-lent chemical resistance and dielectric properties, good tensile, flexural and mechani-cal strength, low moisture absorption, exceptional dimensional stability and goodflammability characteristics. The maximum service temperature for PVC is 140 F.The physical properties of PVC can be readily altered by addition of plasticizers, im-pact modifiers and other ingredients to develop and enhance specific properties.

Generally there are two basic types of PVC available - rigid PVC and plasticized,flexible, PVC or vinyl. Additional subcategories of rigid and flexible PVC with desir-able physical properties targeted to a specific application can be developed by alteringadditives to the base resin (i.e., the addition of UV stabilizers to enhance weatherabil-ity of rigid vinyl siding used in outdoor applications, etc.). PVC is available in a widespectrum of colors, a well as transparent variations.

TEFLONAlso Known As (common industry trade names):

PTFE . TFE . Chemflour . Surf Chemical . Teflon

Material Description:

Teflon was originally developed for use in aerospace applications but soon found ahome in countless industrial applications. Teflon’s unique characteristics include: chemicalinertness (very few chemicals can attack it), extremely low coefficient of friction (noth-ing can stick to the material with any strength), high heat resistance (capable of servicetemperatures of 500° F) and extremely useful in cold temperature environments. Thefluoroplastics industry began in 1938. DuPont Company discovered the fluorocarbonpoly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE). DuPont called it Teflon. Over the past 60 years, theindustry has commercialized seven additional fluoroplastics: FEP, PVDF, PFA, ETFE,PCTFE, ECTFE and PVF.

PVF (polyvinyl fluoride) has outstanding resistance to weathering and good resistanceto abrasion and staining. It is used as a surfacing film for industrial, architectural anddecorative building materials.

PTFE (molded) is not able to be melt processed. The resin must be compressed, thensintered (a controlled heat treatment) to produce useful plastic.

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) processes by conventional means. It is extrudedand injection molded. It has the chemical resistance, mechanical and electrical proper-ties of PTFE but a more narrow temperature range – maximum temperature is 400F.Commonly used to make chemical resistant tanks and vessels for the corrosive chemi-cal industry.

PVDF (poly-vinylidene fluoride) is not a processable fluoropolymer capable of beinginjection and compression molded and screw extruded. It is stiffer and resists cold flowbetter than PTFE, FEP, and PFA. It has a lower useful temperature range (-80 to +300F).Glass backed sheets of PVDF make liners for vessels as does FEP. Pipe and fittings ofPVDF are one of the most economical and chemical resistant, high temperature solidpipe systems available.

PFA (polyfluoroalkoxy) is also melt processable. Its properties are those of PTFE andinclude resistance to practically all chemicals, the useful temperature range of PTFE,resistance to weathering, low friction coefficient and excellent electrical insulationcharacteristics. It is however, more expensive than PTFE and FEP resins.

ETFE (ethylene tetra fluoro ethylene) is a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethyleneand is readily processed by conventional methods. It has maximum service tempera-ture of 300F but greater strength and stiffness than PTFE, FEP and PFA. ETFE also hasexcellent impact strength.

PCTFE (polychlorotrifluoroethylene) is melt processible. Within its service temperaturerange, it has greater tensile and compressive strength than PCTFE, FEP, or PFA. At hightemperatures it is subject to stress cracking. It does not have the solvent resistance ofPTFE, FEP, PFA or ETFE. However, its radiation resistance is better than any of theseothers.

ECTFE (ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene) is a copolymer of ethylene and PCTFE. It ismelt processible. It has excellent electrical insulating properties. At ambient tempera-tures its mechanical properties compare to those of nylon 6. It has excellent impactresistance at ambient and sub ambient temperatures. Its service range is -80 to +300F.
