Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have 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 similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may 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 definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
