Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. Small pieces always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are some 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses 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 stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
