Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The small parts always 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 quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical uses there are a few 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially 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 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 durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in water 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.
