Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving 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 perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto 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 Sustarin C is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
