POM-C (DELRIN®)

Semi-Finished Engineering Plastics

POM-C (DELRIN®)

An engineering plastic offering high mechanical strength, low friction coefficient, and superior dimensional stability.

Product Description

POM-C (DELRIN®) (Polyacetal Copolymer)is one of the semi-crystalline engineering plastics that stands out with its high mechanical strength, low friction coefficient, and superior wear resistance. It offers stable performance, especially in systems requiring precise tolerances and continuous movement.

POM-C (DELRIN®) materials offer lighter, quieter-running, and lower-maintenance solutions compared to metal alternatives. Thanks to its structure resistant to deformation under load, it provides long-term dimensional stability and is safely used in precision part manufacturing.

POM-C (DELRIN®) engineering plastics are widely used in industry due to their high wear resistance and low friction properties. In Turkey, this material is often referred to by the name "Delrin®". However, Delrin® is a registered trademark of DuPont and actually refers to the POM homopolymer product group.

Material Structure and Technical Properties

POM-C (DELRIN®) offers high strength combined with low friction properties thanks to its semi-crystalline structure. The low moisture absorption rate ensures that the material exhibits stable performance under different environmental conditions.

Technical Features and Advantages

High Mechanical Strength

Resistant to deformation under load, offers safe load-bearing capacity.

Low Friction Coefficient

Ensures smooth operation in moving parts, minimizes energy losses.

High Wear Resistance

Maintains its initial performance even in long-term industrial uses.

Dimensional Stability

Affected minimally by moisture and temperature changes, maintains precision.

Chemical Resistance

Resistant to oils, fuels, and many industrial solvents.

Good Machinability

Highly suitable for CNC and machining, smooth surfaces are obtained.

Technical Performance and Application Behavior

POM-C (DELRIN®) shows high performance, especially in applications where friction and wear are critical. Thanks to its low friction coefficient, it reduces energy loss in systems and extends part life. At the same time, thanks to its high surface quality, it reduces the need for additional surface treatments on machined parts. With its low moisture absorption property, it provides dimensional stability in long-term use.

Application Areas

POM-C is preferred in many industrial applications requiring low friction and high precision.

✓ Gear and transmission systems: Provides quiet and long-lasting operation.

✓ Bearings and bushings: Offers a low-friction surface capable of running unlubricated.

✓ Conveyor systems: Used in sliding and guiding elements.

✓ Automation systems: Preferred in mechanical components requiring precise tolerances.

✓ Food and packaging machinery: Suitable with its hygienic and chemical-resistant structure.

✓ Valve and pump components: Resistant to friction and fluid contact.

✓ Machinery manufacturing industry: Used in moving parts exposed to wear.
