The follower is injected molded using Delrin®. The Delrin® material is specific to this follower. The material was designed to be of high lubricity and low drag. As a result there is no need for lubricants, liquid or powder. It resists collecting dirt. The Delrin® material will work in a wide range of temperatures and climatic conditions without expansion or shrinkage of the follower parts.
