Comparing Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
