Comparing Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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 outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially 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 aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
