Reasons to choose Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent 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 toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless 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 and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
