Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts usually ship quickly 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 incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily 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 best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses 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 help 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 toughness. 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 quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
