Delrin® bridges the gap between metals and ordinary plastics with a unique combination of strength, stiffness, hardness, dimensional stability, toughness, fatigue resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, abrasion resistance, low wear and low friction.

Delrin® acetal resins are made by the polymerization of formaldehyde. They have built up a worldwide reputation for reliability in all types of engineering components over more than 30 years since DuPont discovered and introduced Delrin®. They are used in the automotive, appliance, sports, industrial engineering, electronics and consumer goods industries. The chemical composition and highly crystalline structure of Delrin® acetal offer a unique combination of properties not available with metal or other plastics.

Delrin® characteristics include:

- High tensile strength, impact resistance and stiffness;
- Outstanding fatigue resistance, unmatched by other plastics;
- Excellent resistance to moisture, gasoline, lubricants, solvents and many other neutral chemicals;
- Excellent dimensional stability;
- Good electrical insulating characteristics;
- Creep resistance;
- Low friction;
- Wide end-use temperature range, down to very low temperatures.

Applications:

- Laser marking capability
- Gear solutions
- Conveyor solutions
- Door systems
- Fuel Systems
