Delrin
Stiff, low-friction engineering plastic for gears, valves, and dimensionally stable parts.
Acetal, also known as POM (Polyoxymethylene), is a strong, rigid engineering thermoplastic with low friction, excellent dimensional stability, and good wear resistance. It resists moisture, solvents, and creep, making it ideal for precision parts like gears, bearings, and valves in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications requiring tight tolerances and durability.
