POM/Delrin rod:

Differences: Delrin Rod is a homopolymer grade, this means that there are advantages and disadvantages over Acetal Rod.

POM rod advantages:Acetal/Delrin Rod is more suited to the more mechanical applications where an easy to machine and high quality surface finish is required. It is potentially harder wearing than Acetal and is often used in the manufacture of gears or even motorcycle crash pegs.

POM rod Disadvantages:Delrin rod is not suitable for food contact applications and has less resistance to chemical attack. It also has a lower size range availability and can be slightly more expensive.

POM rod Application: 

delrin rod is suitable for most non food and non highly abrasive component applications. Because POM does not absorb very much moisture, it is an engineering plastic that will suit marine applications as it also has a very low friction co-efficient and possesses exceptional sliding abilities. POM is also very good for manufacturing of many gears, because it is very good to machine and has mechanical strength and provides long life and quiet operation.
