Comparing Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly 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 incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an excellent 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 the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications 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 along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers 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 quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
