Case Study: The Importance of Material Selection

Written By Brenda Wood

One of our clients recently faced a frustrating challenge. They had been using Delrin for a component that was submerged underwater, but the parts were deteriorating and not performing as expected. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't pinpoint the issue.

When our team visited their facility to investigate, we discovered that the client was using a porous type of Delrin, which was absorbing liquid and causing the components to fail. The solution was simple: switch to a performance plastic like polypropylene, which is highly resistant to chemicals and water. By making this change, the client was able to resolve their problem and achieve the desired performance.

This case study highlights the critical importance of selecting the right plastic for a specific application. A seemingly small material choice can have a significant impact on the overall success of a project. By utilizing our expert guidance and comprehensive brochure, you can ensure that your plastic components meet your exact requirements and deliver exceptional performance.
