Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
