We recommend Delrin when superior strength and dimensional stability are critical to the design.

Connecticut Plastics, Inc. an industry leader in plastic fabrication, often recommends utilizing Delrin, sometimes called Delrin/Acetal, because of its ease in machining and fabrication.  Delrin is the crystalline thermoplastic of choice when precision plastic parts are required for impact and wear resistance in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.  With low, consistent internal stress, this material experiences little dimensional change during machining and use.  Delrin is also an ideal material for use in wet environments because it resists moisture.  Custom plastic parts made of Delrin are tough to wear out making Delrin the ideal choice for the following applications: pistons and valves, pump components, manifolds, rollers, fittings, food product forming dies, wear strips, timing screws, gears, bearing and bushings and electrical insulator parts.

Delrin Plastic Machining Samples

Delrin is highly utilized in the automotive, electronics and food processing industries because its superior strength, stiffness and dimensional stability bring a high level of durability and resilience to application configurations.  Connecticut Plastics, Inc. is a premier supplier of CNC machined plastic parts, components and manifolds to companies in the medical industry, semi-conductor industry, nuclear, electro-mechanical and the testing and measurement device OEM’s.  Connecticut Plastics’ engineers are willing to work with customers during all phases: development, design, material selection, manufacturing, inspecting and more. Plastic fabrication is all that we do here at Connecticut Plastics. There is never a chance of metal contamination. Please visit our website www.connecticutplastics.com for more information.
