Analyzing differences among Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred 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 superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly of value 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 chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
