Who manufactures Delrin?
Who manufactures Delrin?
Authentic Delrin® acetal homopolymer is available exclusively from DuPont, authorized DuPont distributors, and from stock shape suppliers in a variety of forms (sheets, rods, tubes).
Is acetal and Delrin the same?
Delrin is a type of acetal homopolymer and therefore generally interchangeable with others of the same class. This means that Delrin still offers the same core benefits of general acetal plastics, such as: Excellent dimensional stability. Friction, fatigue, and abrasion resistance.

Is Delrin stronger than acetal?
One of the biggest differences between Delrin® and Acetal is that Delrin® tends to have a significantly higher yield strength and tensile strength. Acetal copolymer tends to have a tensile strength of 9,500 psi, which is impressive for a polymer. Delrin® tops out at 11,000 psi.
Where is Delrin manufactured?
Dordrecht
And often this Delrin® is made at the manufacturing site of DuPont in Dordrecht (the Netherlands). In March, the Delrin® production unit in Dordrecht celebrates its 50th anniversary. The plant started in 1963 as a compounding unit. In 1973 the Delrin® chemical unit started production with all lines installed by 1999.
What is Delrin Rod?
Delrin rod is an homopolymer acetal grade that offers a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance than acetal copolymer. Delrin rods are available from 5mm diameter to 200mm diameter.
What is acetal rod used for?
Acetal is ideally suited for close tolerance mechanical parts and electrical insulators which require strength and stiffness. It also offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals including many solvents.
What is acetal rod?
Acetal rod (Polyoxymethylene or POM) provided by Interstate Plastics is a tough, machinable thermoplastic with a high modulus of elasticity, high strength, good rigidity, dimensional stability, and resistances to moisture, chemicals and solvents.
What is DuPont Delrin?
DuPont™ Delrin® acetal homopolymer resin – also called Delrin® POM-H – is one of the most crystalline engineering thermoplastics available. Delrin® is a highly adaptable material that bridges the gap between plastics and metals and offers unique properties.
What is Delrin rod used for?
Delrin rod is commonly used for gear wheels, cams, bearings, and rollers. Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties of Delrin makes it a good choice for electrically insulating components.
Is Delrin expensive?
In addition to its properties – Delrin is a relatively inexpensive material compared to PTFE and even PA66. This makes it a sought after choice in machined component development – as the parts are dimensionally very stable and significant trials can be done without being too expensive.
