Delrin (generic: acetal) is a low-friction, high-stiffness material. It is used in applications ranging from auto parts to musical instruments. With a relatively high toughness and minimal elongation, Delrin boasts excellent dimensional accuracy.
Fictiv also offers Delrin AF (13% PTFE-Filled) and Glass-Filled Delrin.
When compared with standard Delrin, Delrin AF has an increased coefficient of friction for applications that require lubrication. With an excellent wear resistance, toughness, strength and dimensional stability, this material is often found in load bearing applications such as bushings, bearings, cams, thrust washers, gaskets and valve seats.
Glass-filled Delrin offers superior stiffness and dimensional stability with a high resistance to creep. Glass fibers increase impact resistance and fatigue endurance. This material is commonly used for automotive applications, construction, fixturing, and gear manufacturing.

Warping
Due to the composition of Delrin and temperatures from machining, it is highly susceptible to warping on large, flat parts or where there are thin walls. We recommend avoiding thin walls; if you need thin walls, use fasteners to clamp down your design.
Cost Saving Tip
To reduce costs, limit the number of part setups, the number of inspection dimensions or tight tolerances, and deep pockets with small radii.
