Cabinet Drawer Slides

When you open modern day furniture drawers, in the home or office, you will notice the attention to detail on how the drawer slides open and close, and how they gently come to a stop. This detail is achieved with smart engineering and componentry that includes low wear and friction grades of Delrin® homopolymer acetal. Leading manufacturers of drawer slides rely on Delrin® homopolymer acetal’s super low friction and long-term durability properties.

Compared to acetal copolymer, Delrin® acetal homopolymer offers higher tensile strength, stiffness, creep and fatigue resistance, and significantly higher impact resistance. The extra mechanical properties of Delrin® allow for parts to be made thinner and smaller, whilst delivering the same performance of a thicker, less compact copolymer acetal moulding.
