What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one better 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 choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty 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 superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers 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 quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
