Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Delrin®
Acetal Resin Sheets, Bars, and Strips
These sheets, bars, and strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be easily machined to close tolerances. They also have a naturally slippery, wear-resistant surface. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.
White sheets, bars, and strips are FDA compliant for contact with food.

Slippery Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine
Delrin® Acetal AF Resin Sheets and Strips
The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. These sheets and strips resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so they can be machined to close tolerances. Fabricate them into pump components, gears, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin is also known as acetal homopolymer.

- Tensile Strength: 7,690-8,100 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.7-1 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R115-R118 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
Wear-Resistant Nylon Sheets, Bars, and Strips
With a slippery surface that reduces friction, these wear-resistant nylon 6/6 sheets, bars, and strips are often machined into bearings, gears, and valve seats.

Multipurpose Flame-Retardant
Garolite G-10/FR4 Sheets and Bars
A good all-around choice, these Garolite G-10/FR4 sheets and bars are strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. They're made of a flame-retardant epoxy resin with fiberglass fabric reinforcement. Garolite G-10/FR4 is also called epoxy-grade industrial laminate and phenolic.
Wear-resistant sheets are coated to stand up to rubbing and scraping better than uncoated sheets.
