Delrin® (Acetal Homopolymer)
Delrin®, a homopolymer acetal. It offers slightly higher mechanical properties than Acetal copolymer, but may contain a low-density center, especially in larger cross-sections. Copolymer acetal also offers better chemical resistance than homopolymer acetal. Delrin® is ideal for small diameter, thin-walled bushings that benefit from the additional strength and rigidity of homopolymer acetal.
AccroSeal offers both homopolymer and copolymer grades of acetal including enhanced bearing grade materials. We also can provide an acetal that is porosity-free and offered as our standard general purpose grade.
For improved frictional properties PTFE-enhanced Delrin® AF products are available.
