Comparing Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 primary material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to 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 auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
