Delrin® ACETAL POM Key Properties
Delrin® acetal homopolymer offers slightly higher mechanical properties than acetal copolymer, but may contain a low density center (also known as "center line porosity") especially in large cross-sections. The homopolymer also gives slightly less chemical resistance than copolymer acetal. For example, Delrin® is ideal for small diameter, thin-walled bushings that benefit from the additional strength and rigidity of homopolymer acetal.
