Delrin / POM (Acetal)
Dimensional stability and clean machinability for precision components.
Polyoxymethylene is the material machinists ask for by name. It cuts cleanly, holds tolerance, resists creep under sustained load and — unlike nylon — barely takes up moisture, so a part measured on Monday is the same part on Friday.
Homopolymer (POM-H) gives higher stiffness and strength; copolymer (POM-C) handles hot water and alkaline environments better. Which one you want depends on the service condition rather than the drawing.
