What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous 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 in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting 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 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.
