Delrin
- DELRIN® is a crystalline plastic that offers an excellent balance of properties that bridge the gap between metals and plastics. This plastic possesses high tensile strength, creep resistance, and toughness. It also exhibits low moisture absorption. It is chemically resistant to hydrocarbons, solvents, and neutral chemicals. These properties along with its fatigue endurance make DELRIN® ideal for many industrial applications.
- The property superiority of DELRIN® classifies it as an “engineering resin”, a term used for plastics that can compete with metals in many applications.
