What is Delrin?

Injection-moulded Delrin (POM) offers high-tensile strength, low-friction and high-wear resistance, creep and warp resistance, and overall durability and toughness. It's a high-performance material for parts that will be in harsh environments or experience heavy wear.


The Main Benefits of Delrin (POM)

  • Dimensional stability
  • Superior impact and creep resistance
  • High fatigue endurance
  • High strength and stiffness properties
  • Chemical resistance to fuels and solvents
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Good wear and abrasion properties
  • Natural grade is FDA compliant

Applications for Moulded Delrin Parts

The robust mechanical properties of Delrin makes it a good material choice for parts that are in moist or wet environments and high wear applications. In many cases, it can be used as an alternative to metal.

Typical parts include:

  • Pump and valve components
  • Gears
  • Bearings
  • Bushings
  • Fittings
