Reasons to choose Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is certainly 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 Sheets are 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 Pomalux is in marine 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.
