Delrin® Automotive

Delrin® for automotive and transportation applications

For automotive and transport applications that demand spring-like properties, low wear and friction, reduced noise (especially in new generation electric vehicles) and the ultimate in acetal mechanical properties, Delrin® homopolymer acetal is the superior choice.

Delrin® is long established in the world of automotive polymers and is supported by an extensive range of automotive approvals.

Delrin® properties

It may not be visible from the driver’s seat, but Delrin® acetal supports many of the moving mechanisms inside your vehicle. Delrin® homopolymer acetal is responsible for the smooth operation of your electric windows, air conditioning vents, sound system volume control, and much more.

The inherent properties of Delrin® make it the perfect solution for automotive and transportation applications:

Low wear and friction resulting in smooth operation with minimal energy
Excellent mechanical strength providing metal replacement options for light-weighting vehicles
Low emission technology for reducing in-car volatiles
Spring-like properties for clip and buckle applications
Excellent chemical resistance to fuel (highly suitable for fuel filler caps)
Noise reduction due to its inherent low friction attribute (a very important feature in low noise electric vehicles)

Delrin® automotive approvals

Delrin® has been the polymer material of choice in the automotive sector since polymers were first used in the 1970s. There is an extensive list of automotive approvals for Delrin® automotive applications, which can be obtained from your Distrupol representative.
