What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They look the same, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better 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 definitely our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one 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 sheet Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
