Chemical resistance charts seem to list Polyacetal/Delrin's compatibility with acetone as either 'A' (no effect) or 'B' (minor effect). Methyl acetone has a rating of 'D' (severe effect).

Yes, polyacetal is generally compatible with acetone. Acetone can be used to clean and remove contaminants from polyacetal surfaces without causing damage. However, prolonged exposure to acetone may cause some weakening or swelling of the polyacetal material.
