Our Delrin Rod is our other "best machining" material resulting in a superb finish and more suited to the mechanical applications than Acetal.  It is slightly harder, has lower thermal expansion and potentially better wear rates than Acetal but Delrin is unsuitable for food contact applications.

Delrin Rod Differences
Delrin Rod is a homopolymer grade Acetal, this means that there are advantages and disadvantages over Acetal Rod.

Delrin Rod Advantages
Delrin Rod is more suited to the more mechanical applications where an easy to machine and high quality surface finish is required. It is potentially harder wearing than Acetal and is often used in the manufacture of gears or even motorcycle crash pegs.

Delrin Rod Disadvantages
Delrin Rod is not suitable for food contact applications and has less resistance to chemical attack. It also has a lower size range availability and can be slightly more expensive.

Delrin Rod Applications
Delrin Rod is suitable for most non food and non highly abrasive component applications. Because Delrin does not absorb very much moisture, it is an engineering plastic that will suit marine applications as it also has a very low friction co-efficient and possesses exceptional sliding abilities. Delrin is also very good for manufacturing of many gears, because it is very good to machine and has mechanical strength and provides long life and quiet operation.
