Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 definitely our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained 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 used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
