What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly 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 Sheet is one of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
