Why you may pick Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses 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, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable 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. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and 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 lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine 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.
