A thermoplastic can be melted and shaped several times. The thermoplastic materials are either crystalline or amorphous. A thermoplastic can be compared to wax and ice — those materials can be hardened and formed into other shapes. A thermoset plastic is a polymeric material that can be formed by application of heat and pressure, but can not be reformed upon further applications of heat and pressure. A thermoset is like a cooked egg and can not be re-melted and reshaped into another solid shape. A thermoplastic can be compared to wax and ice — those materials can be hardened and formed into other shapes. We’ll discuss thermoplastics throughout most of the modules, thermosets will be covered in the last module. There are two basic types of acetal resins: homopolymer and copolymer. The homopolymer is a POM chain capped at both ends with an ester of an organic acid. Copolymers are made by reacting trioxane (a trimmer of formaldehyde) with a copolymer. The homopolymers strength properties tend to be slightly higher than those of the copolymers. They also have higher short-term heat deflection temperatures than copolymers, but their continuous use temperature is 85oC/185oF versus 100oC/212oF for copolymers. The homopolymers also tend to have somewhat greater surface hardness, and a slightly lower coefficient of friction. The copolymers, compared to homopolymers, tend to absorb less water, are more resistant to hydrolysis, and have superior processing characteristics, including reduced odor, gassing and mold deposit. They offer faster cycling, better regrind utilization, and exhibit better long-term stability and retention of properties in elevated temperatures. Delrin is a trade name for acetal. Other general uses for acetal are guides, gears, electrical components, slides and packaging equipment. Next we will look at thermoplastic polyesters in more detail.
