Overview
Delrin (acetal homopolymer) delivers stiffness, wear resistance, and low moisture uptake. Whether manufactured in-house or via trusted Canadian partners, we support prototyping and production with consistent tolerances and clean surface finishes.
Quick Specs
| Material | Key Traits | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Delrin® (POM-H) | High stiffness/strength, excellent machinability, good wear | Gears, bushings, precision mechanisms |
| Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) | Better hot-water/chemical resistance; slightly lower stiffness | Fluid manifolds, clips, general mechanical parts |
| Delrin® AF (PTFE-filled) | Lower friction & improved wear; slightly reduced strength | Low-friction bearings, slides, wear strips |
Our Delrin Capabilities
Our capabilities — fulfilled in-house or through certified local partners — include:

Delrin FAQ
What tolerances can you hold on Delrin parts?
We routinely hold ±0.002″ (±0.05 mm) and can achieve ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) on critical features with proper fixturing and process control.
Do you offer post-machining finishing?
Yes—we provide deburring, chamfering, polishing, and light buffing to ensure smooth, burr-free edges.
Can you join or assemble Delrin components?
We offer adhesive bonding and ultrasonic welding preparation for Delrin assemblies, as well as mechanical fastening prep.
What size parts can you handle?
Typical envelopes accommodate Delrin blocks and rods up to ~24″ length and ~12″ diameter, depending on setup.
Is this manufactured in-house?
Some Delrin components are machined in-house, while others are produced through our trusted Canadian supplier network. We oversee sourcing, QA, and logistics for consistency.
