Delrin, also known as Polyoxymethylene (POM), is a high-performance acetal resin with several desirable physical and mechanical properties. This highly-crystalline engineered thermoplastic is widely regarded for its durability, stiffness, and exceptional dimensional stability.
These characteristics make Delrin ideal for high-load and high-impact applications such as gears, conveyor belts, bearings, rollers, and safety restraints. Additional low moisture absorption and tribological properties lend themselves to the construction of items in wet or moist environments such as pumps, valves, and actuators.
Delrin sheets, tubes, and rods can be cut and machined to required lengths and shapes to create a variety of parts and components.
Delrin offers a balance of the exceptional properties found in metals and plastics. Specifically, the material offers:
The composition and properties of Delrin make it the material of choice for many industrial applications. Because it is available in a range of special grades, the material can be used to accommodate diverse and unique customer requirements.
Delrin is currently used in numerous sectors including the automotive, electrical, electronics, food production, and petrochemical industries. Delrin rods, tubes, and sheets are available for a wide range of uses including:
Emco Industrial Plastics, Inc. is a leading provider of high quality machined and fabricated plastic components for a variety of industries. We work with a wide range of materials, including Delrin, to produce products that can be used in any application in almost any environment.

Delrin® 150 is a high viscosity acetal homopolymer for extrusion processes. It has excellent thermal stability, low die deposit, and enhanced crystallization for low porosity.
Delrin 150Delrin® 570, this grade has 20% glass fiber filler. It has much greater mechanical properties over unfilled acetals.
Delrin 570Delrin® 525GR NC000 is a 25% glass reinforced acetal homopolymer for injection molding. It has very high strength, stiffness, and high deflection temperature, and excellent creep resistance.
Delrin 525GRDELRIN®100AF blend stock shapes are a 13% PTFE fiber filled homopolymer acetal. They offer an improved coefficient of friction, better lubricity, and improved wear characteristics over unfilled and PTFE powder filled acetals.
Delrin AF 100Delrin® AF Blend is a unique thermoplastic material for use in moving parts in which low friction and long wear life are important. It is a combination of PTFE fibers uniformly dispersed in Delrin® acetal resin.
Delrin 13% AF BlendUNITAL® Acetal (polyoxy-methylene) offers design engineers a superior blend of strength, stiffness, lubricity, and dimensional stability. These properties, along with inherent machining ease, have made UNITAL one of the most widely used engineering grade thermoplastics.
Unital LF13Delrin® 500AF is a medium viscosity acetal homopolymer resin containing 20% Teflon® PTFE fibers. It is designed for applications requiring low wear and/or low coefficient of friction against steel, itself, and other plastics.
Delrin AF 500DELRIN® AF DE588 is a 20% PTFE filled homopolymer acetal that is fully tested and certified for use by the United States Navy.
Delrin AF DE588Dielux PTFE filled acetal copolymer is an outstanding bearing and wear material for use in both wet and dry environments. Dielux is frequently used in place of traditional metal and plastic bearing materials when low friction, excellent wear properties, and good dimensional stability are required.
DieluxTECAFORM® FG Blue is a new blue colored acetal designed specifically for the food industry. TECAFORM® is resistant to hot water, and typical cleaning chemicals, and it possesses good bearing and wear properties.
Food Grade DelrinStatic dissipative acetal contains no carbon fibers or powders and is generally accepted for clean room use. With its surface resistivity of 109 to 1011 ohm/square and its excellent bearing and wear characteristics, TECAFORM SD is ideal for moving components which may experience frictional or fluid-flow static charges.
Tecaform SDDelrin sheet and rods come in many forms, filled and unfilled. Dielux is a PTFE acetal (filled copolymer) known for the outstanding durability and wear features.
