What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. 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 applications and is particularly 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 Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
