Comparing Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary 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 usual 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 excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses 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 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 auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
