Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make 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,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly of value 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 Sheets are of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
