About Acetal

Acetal (also known as Delrin, POM or polyoxymethylene) is a high-performance engineering plastic with excellent dimensional stability, low friction and high stiffness. It's the go-to material for precision machined components, gears, bearings and mechanical parts.

Properties

  • High stiffness and strength
  • Low friction — excellent for sliding applications
  • Excellent machinability — holds tight tolerances
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Dimensional stability — minimal moisture absorption

Available Forms

Rod (natural, black) from 6mm to 200mm diameter, sheet from 6mm to 100mm thick. Copolymer and homopolymer grades available.
