Analyzing differences among Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 definitely our primary material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly 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 automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet 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.
