Default Where to buy DELRIN sheet material

I didn't buy my RV...and I hear all the builders refering to DELRIN. I searched ACSpruce and only found rod material. Where do you buy sheet material from.
I'm assuming some comes in the kit...?
Thanks, Bob Martin

You might check your local rubber and gasket stores. I used to work for one and we carried delrin, UHMW etc. in 4x8 and 4x10 ft sheets of various thicknesses. Usually there will be someone that supplies conveyor belts etc. to businesses in your area. They will usually cut the material to the size you need and sell you part of a sheet.
