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

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable 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 definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb 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 auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
