TECAFORM® HPV13 brown homopolymer acetal

TECAFORM® HPV13 is a brown homopolymer acetal with an internal PTFE lubricant. Its low coefficient of friction, excellent PV values, toughness, wear resistance, and machinability make it an exceptional material for use in many industrial and military components with moving parts. Additionally, TECAFORM® HPV13 has superior chemical resistance and flexural fatigue properties, as well as low moisture absorption associated with acetal materials

Key Properties

Lower cost alternative to Delrin AF blend

No stick slip

Low coefficient of friction

Good dimensional stability

Superior wear resistance

Superior resistance to repeated impacts and creep

Self-lubricating

The use of TECAFORM™ HPV 13 can eliminate costly lubricants, reduce maintenance costs and product contamination.

Excellent machinability

Complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.2480 and may be used in contact with food up to 150 F on a repeated use basis, except those foods containing more than 15% alcohol. Delrin® AF does not.

Limitations

Wear Resistance in Dry Environments

Poor Resistance to Strong Acids and Alkalies

Slightly Lower Mechanical Properties than Homopolymer Acetal

Applications

Bushings & Bearings

Thrust Washers
