Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the auto 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 sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
