Delrin is neither a steel nor stainless. It's an engineering plastic
offering greater strength and wear resistance. It's similar to nylon, but is
more dimensionally stable under wet or humid conditions due to lower water
absorption characteristics. Chemically it's called Acetal. Delrin is the
market name from DuPont. It's also known as Celcon, tradename from a firm
called Celanese Corp.
The product is used extensively in automotive suspension components (like
bushings for shock mounts, anti-sway bar guides, etc...).
That's it, Chemical Engineering 101 class dismissed.
