Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. The small parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They appear 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 all 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 great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect 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 along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
