Laser Cutting & Engraving Delrin/POM

What is Delrin /POM?           

Delrin is a thermoplastic based on Polyoxymethylene (POM). It is also called other names, such as acetal, polyacetal and acetal homopolymer. Delrin was measured by CO2 laser cutting with a wavelength of 10.6 microns. The cut was clean and the edge was smooth. Delrin uses 10.6 micron wavelength CO2 laser engraving to produce high levels of detail and relief. In some cases, a fiber laser with a wavelength of 1.06 microns can be used to control Delrin laser marking. Black Delrin - the black Delrin in carbon based pigments - is heated by a laser beam, causing the surrounding polymer to blister. The foam scattering light is Delrin gray and the surface is indelible. 

Delrin, it is a semi crystalline engineering grade thermoplastic, which is widely used to manufacture high-precision parts. In general, Delrin Impressive dimensional stability and sliding performance. It is famous for its high strength, wide operating temperature range (- 40°C to 120°C) and excellent mechanical properties.

Composition and Properties             

POM is an acronym for polyoxymethylene, but it is usually called acetal, polyacetal and polyoxymethylene. It is a technical and engineering thermoplastic used for precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction and good dimensional stability.            

It has strong traction and impact resistance, as well as excellent dimensional stability (able to maintain its original size under heating or any external modification source). POM is not affected by water, brine or any common solvents. In fact, it is difficult to dissolve this substance at high temperature. POM will be affected by solar ultraviolet rays after long-term exposure, but anti ultraviolet stabilizers can be used to double its service life. 

POM is a material with several advantages, both ease of use and durability. The technical properties of POM may vary depending on the thickness, but it is always very resistant and has incredible geometric stability. 

When it comes to shrinkage and tolerances. POM material glows under LED lights and is very resistant to cracking and cracking. All these properties make it ideal for technical parts, especially those that must with
