Why you may choose either Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small pieces usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal 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 countless uses and is certainly valued 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 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 Pomalux 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.
