What the difference between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may 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 ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto 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 sheet 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.
