Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends 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 probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very 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, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
