More About
Delrin® is the brand name for Polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent strength, stiffness, and low coefficient of friction. Delrin (Acetal) Rods exhibit excellent dimensional stability, wear resistance, and fatigue endurance, making them ideal for precision machined components requiring close tolerances and durability.
At Petron Thermoplast LLC, our Delrin rods are available in natural (white) and black colors and supplied in POM-H (Homopolymer) and POM-C (Copolymer) grades.
