What plastic is this?
(OP)
Folks,
I previously worked with a plastic that had very good thermal insulation properties but also very good mechanical properties. Incidentially, it was blue in colour.
I think it was Delrin, but I'm not sure.
I have a very similar application again and I would like to spec the same material. I have to fix a small metal block containing electronic circuits to a metal base that may reach 100 deg Celcius, hence the thermal insulation.
Any ideas?
Speedy

RE: What plastic is this?
POM, PA, PPS, and PEEK are good polymers and should meet your requirements.
