The move is part of an expanded collaboration between Biesterfeld and Delrin, a company specialising in industrial polymers.
As part of the new agreement, Biesterfeld now holds distribution rights for the engineering thermoplastics throughout the EMEA region.
According to Biesterfeld, the acetal homopolymer Delrin has been developed for mechanically demanding applications. The strengths of the materials include high crystallinity, very good toughness even at low temperatures, high mechanical strength and stiffness as well as excellent fatigue resistance. The engineering thermoplastics also have high dimensional stability, good electrical properties and excellent chemical resistance. The wide range of applications in which polymers are used include the automotive, household appliances, construction, installation, electronics and consumer goods industries. Typical application examples are gears, drug systems, safety-relevant components, door and conveyor systems as well as components in sports equipment.
