1. What is the difference between Delrin and acetal?

Delrin is a specific brand of acetal homopolymer made by DuPont. Acetal is a broader term that includes both homopolymers and copolymers. It generally has higher strength and stiffness compared to acetal copolymer.

2. Can Delrin bushings be used in high-temperature environments?

It performs well in temperatures up to approximately 90°C (194°F) continuously. For higher temperatures, it's best to consult with a material expert or consider alternatives. You can always reach us at sales@avenirbharat.com or call at +91-9310 916166.

3. Is Delrin food-safe?

Yes, certain grades are FDA-compliant and can be safely used in food processing equipment. Always confirm the grade before use in such applications

4. How do I know if I need a standard or custom Delrin part?

If the required part size or design is not available off-the-shelf, or if your application has unique technical requirements, a custom rod or bushing will offer a better fit and performance.

5. Where can I get Delrin rods and bushings at competitive prices?

You can get high-quality polyacetal rods and bushings from Avenir Solutions. We offer competitive pricing, custom fabrication, and expert guidance for all your engineering plastic needs.

6. Is Delrin suitable for outdoor use?

It has good weather resistance, but prolonged exposure to UV radiation can degrade it over time. If outdoor use is critical, consider using UV-stabilized grades or additional protective coatings.

7. Can I machine Delrin with standard tools?

Yes, polyacetal is very machinable and can be worked using standard metal or wood-cutting tools. Sharp tools and proper cooling are recommended for the best results.

8. How long do Delrin bushings last?

The lifespan of bushings depends on the load, speed, and environmental conditions. Under proper use, they can last significantly longer than metal bushings, especially in dry or low-lubrication applications.

Are Teflon bushes better than metal bushes?

For applications that require low maintenance, chemical resistance, or clean operation, Teflon bushes often outperform metal ones—especially in low to medium-load environments.

Can Teflon bushes handle high temperatures?

Yes, they typically withstand up to 260°C and remain stable under varying thermal conditions.

Do Teflon bushes require lubrication?

No, one of the main advantages of Teflon is that it is self-lubricating, making these bushes ideal for hard-to-maintain systems.

Where can I get custom or hard-to-find Teflon bushes?

Avenir Solutions specializes in sourcing both standard and customized Teflon bushes, even in low quantities or challenging specifications.
