Delrin

Delrin® is a thermoplastic acetal resin. The most important attributes of Delrin® are high mechanical strength and rigidity, fatigue endurance and high resistance to moisture, gasoline and solvents. It is often times used for linear bearings becasue of its low coefficient of friction and for leadscrews because of its tendency to expand and eliminate backlash.
