Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
