What the difference between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical use there are some 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. 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 numerous uses and is particularly 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 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 Sustarin C is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
