What plastic is this?

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?

There are too many polymers to name that meet your description.

POM, PA, PPS, and PEEK are good polymers and should meet your requirements.

Regards,

Cory
