Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty 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, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many 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 aid 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 term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
