Why you may pick Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 primary 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 preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
