Delrin - Black (acetal homopolymer) plastic, also known as Polyoxymethylene or POM-H, is a type of engineering plastic known for it's high strength, dimensional stability, low friction, abrasion resistance, and stiffness. Delrin (acetal homopolymer) is a semi-crystalline thermoplasticThermoplastics are pliable or moldable when heated to a certain temperature and hardens upon cooling, allowing the plastic to be reshaped without significantly affecting its physical properties., as opposed to an amorphous thermoplastic polymer such as polystyrene and ABS. Semi-crystalline polymers exhibit organized and tightly packed molecular chains.
Allow +0 / -1/4" tolerance in width and length.
All four edges are saw cut.
Key Characteristics:
Applications: industrial applications, gears, bushings, rollers, valves, bearings, automotive industry, consumer electronics, and many other applications.
Acetal (copolymer) vs Delrin (homopolymer)
Acetal and Delrin are often used interchangeable when discussing engineering plastics. However, there are important distinctions between them. There are two types of acetal thermoplastic, copolymer acetal and homopolymer acetal. Delrin is a brand name and is an homopolymer acetal.
