Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical use 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, 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 choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
