In addition to its properties – Delrin is a relatively inexpensive material compared to PTFE and even PA66. This makes it a sought after choice in machined component development – as the parts are dimensionally very stable and significant trials can be done without being too expensive.

Is Delrin good?

Delrin, Acetal, and its many trade names is a material properly known as Polyoxymethylene or POM. It is one of the strongest plastics and is a good go-to material when you want the best properties of plastic, and don’t need the full strength of a metal part.

Is acetal plastic expensive?

Although it’s more expensive than other thermoplastics such as ABS, Acetal (also commonly referred to by it’s DuPont trademark, Delrin) is a fantastic engineering plastic that performs well in environments where low friction and high strength are required.
