What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got 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, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications 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 along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
