What is Delrin?
Delrin is an advanced acetal homopolymer developed by DuPont using the latest Dupont Delrin 150 NC010 resin technology. It is a crystalline plastic which uses a breakthrough in stabilization technology by offering an excellent balance of desirable properties that bridge the gap between metals and plastics. In many important mechanical and structural applications, Delrin will replace metals.
Delrin possesses outstanding characteristics of: stiffness, tensile strength, and creep resistance under a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions. With high fatigue endurance, corrosion resistance and mechanical resilience, Delrin is an excellent choice, and is clearly superior to acetal copolymers for applications requiring springiness and toughness.
Delrin provides ease of processing, with little or no odor. Delrin virtually eliminates mold deposit and machine corrosion, typical with copolymers. It also offers the broadest processing temperature range and highest productivity of any acetal resin while maintaining accurate and consistent tolerances. These properties result in manufacturing economies.
Delrin Sheets and Delrin Rods have many of the same characteristics of industrial metals such as brass, aluminum, zinc, and stainless steel. Delrin is a homopolymer acetal (POM). Some of Delrin’s comparable properties include stiffness, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and structural strength. Delrin® 150 is standard general purpose, unfilled acetal. This grade has the best impact toughness of all unfilled Delrin products. Delrin 150 SA was discontinued in 2003 & replaced by Delrin 150 NC010.
