Delrin® is a registered trademark of Delrin USA LLC.
Delrin® 527UV BK701 is a black homopolymer acetal that has been enhanced with UV stabilizers. It is also available in natural on a custom run basis. Developed by Delrin USA LLC to replace Delrin® 507, this material is particularly suited to automotive and other outdoor applications. It exhibits improvements in UV aging characteristics and thermal stability. Delrin® is a registered trademark of Delrin USA LLC.
Delrin® 570 extruded shapes are 20% glass filled materials intended for general industrial use. This glass-filled homopolymer acetal material from Delrin USA LLC offers very high stiffness, low warpage, and low creep for superior part performance under stress. The user can also count on good dimensional stability and machinability, however should also note that the fibers offer stiffness but not reinforcement.

Delrin® 100AF Blend is a specialized thermoplastic material engineered for demanding applications where low friction, reduced wear, and extended component life are critical. It belongs to the acetal homopolymer family (polyoxymethylene or POM), produced by DuPont under the Delrin® brand, and is commonly used in moving parts such as bearings, gears, rollers, and bushings.
Ideal for non-lubricated or low-maintenance environments in industries like automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and consumer products. Examples include high-speed bearings, conveyor components, and valve seats.
Delrin® 100AF 20% PTFE vs Delrin 100AF Blend 13% PTFE
Delrin® 100AF and Delrin® 100AF Blend are both PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)-filled acetal homopolymers from DuPont (now DELRIN USA LLC), designed for low-friction, wear-resistant applications like bearings, bushings, and sliding components. They enhance the base Delrin® acetal's properties with PTFE for reduced friction and improved lubricity. The key differences lie in their composition, PTFE content, processing methods, and resulting mechanical trade-offs.
| Property | Delrin® 100AF | Delrin® 100AF Blend |
|---|---|---|
| PTFE Content | 20% uniformly dispersed PTFE fibers | 13% PTFE fibers (typically a 2:1 blend of Delrin® 100AF and unfilled Delrin® 150) |
| Processing | Injection molding and Extrusion | Primarily for stock shapes via extrusion |
| Color | Dark Brown, Opaque off-white or natural acetal color | Dark brown |
| Strength & Toughness | Higher tensile strength and impact resistance due to full PTFE loading | Retains ~90% of unmodified Delrin® strength; slightly lower impact and wear capability from reduced PTFE |
| Friction & Wear | Lowest coefficient of friction; excellent for high-speed, low-lubricant needs | Very low friction with minimal "stick-slip"; better wear than unfilled Delrin® |
| Cost & Availability | More expensive; available but often custom-order for full-strength 20% fill | More cost-effective and widely available for stock shapes |
| Applications | Extruded shapes, Precision molded parts requiring maximum lubricity (e.g., high-load bearings) | General-purpose extruded parts (e.g., bushings, gears) where balanced properties are needed |
Delrin® 100AF is a high viscosity acetal homopolymer containing 20% PTFE fibers. It is designed for applications requiring low wear and/or low friction against steel, itself, or other plastics.
This material maintains the inherent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and thermal stability of standard Delrin (up to 180°F/82°C continuous use), but the PTFE fibers specifically target tribological (friction/wear) improvements.
Delrin 100AF 20% PTFE fiber is supplied as semi-finished "stock shapes" for machining into custom parts. Common forms include:
