POM Delrin sheet – a strong and dimensionally stable engineering plastic
POM Delrin plate is a high-quality engineering plastic used for durable and precision applications. Thanks to its high rigidity, wear resistance and dimensional stability, a POM Delrin sheet is ideal for machine parts, bearings and gears. The material, also known as polyacetal or polyoxymethylene, combines excellent sliding properties with thermal stability. Read more about POM plastic.
Key properties of POM Delrin plastic sheets
POM Delrin is a highly crystalline thermoplastic that retains its toughness down to -40°C and is suitable for temperatures up to +130°C. The material has low moisture absorption, excellent sliding properties and high dimensional stability, making it suitable for precision components and engineering applications.
- High strength, hardness and stiffness
- Low friction and high wear resistance
- Low water absorption and high dimensional stability
- Good electrical insulation
- Easy to drill, mill and polish
Applications of polyacetal plastic (POM Delrin)
This engineering plastic is widely used in bearings, gears, wear cams, plain bearings and racks. Thanks to its high wear resistance and strength, POM can often be used as a substitute for metal. It is also used in the food industry due to its hygienic properties.
Typical applications of Delrin sheets
- Machine parts and gears
- Precision components
- Food processing and conveyor belts
- Mechanical slide bearings
Thicknesses and grades of Delrin material
The sheets are available in thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 30 mm, with a standard size of 2000 × 1000 mm. Thin sheets (1–3 mm) are ideal for light-duty applications, whilst thicker sheets up to 50 mm are suitable for structural and heavy-duty components. Available in white and black.
