Comparing Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts 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 quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
