Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. Small pieces always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got 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 many applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
