Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce 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 won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
