Delrin® Rod
Delrin® is the DuPont registered trademark for its brand of acetal resin also commonly referred to as polyoxymethylene (POM). This high-performance plastic is extremely strong and that’s down to some pretty impressive characteristics. Delrin® rod is stiff, has high mechanical strength, and has outstanding load-bearing qualities in both compression and tension. Delrin® Rod is robust enough to use as an alternative to metal due to its high wear resistance and low friction. Durable and tough. Perfect for demanding applications.
RS offer a selection of high-quality black Delrin® rod and white Delrin® rod in handy 0.5m and 1m lengths. Diameters ranging from 6mm up to 40mm.
