Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very 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 superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly of value 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 chosen within the automotive 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 Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
