Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything was 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 comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 definitely our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used 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 Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
