Description
Genuine Delrin® acetal homopolymer rod in white, from 20mm to 130mm diameter. Delrin is manufactured from Delrin® acetal resin. Compared with standard acetal copolymer it has higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance, a lower thermal expansion rate and often better wear resistance – making it ideal for machined parts that benefit from extra strength and rigidity.
Why choose Delrin rod
- Higher mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness than acetal copolymer
- Excellent creep resistance for long-lasting performance
- Lower thermal expansion for dimensional stability
- Superior wear resistance for extended use
- Ideal for precision machining
- Normally in stock, with custom lengths available from 40mm

Delrin or acetal copolymer?
- Delrin (this rod) – choose it when a part needs the extra strength, rigidity and creep resistance of homopolymer acetal.
- Natural acetal copolymer rod – the standard acetal grade, in 50mm to 220mm.
- Black acetal copolymer rod – the usual alternative when you need black.
