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

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one better 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous 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 in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine 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.
